Term DBV Service Overview - LIVE IN CREST MONDAY 27TH JUNE...

Introduction

Crest have introduced the Term DBV service to be offered alongside the current overnight DBV service this enables participants to hold DBVs with maturities of up to two years.

This new service was released in Crest on Monday 27th June 2011. We implemented this functionality into the Simulator on 4th April 2011. The SimGUI has also been developed to support all these changes giving you a valuable tool to assist with your testing.

Please be aware that even if you do not intend to test the full DBV functionality there are a couple of changes relating to stock balances regarding the message versions and the corporate action processing for Gilt transactions which may affect your day to day procedures.


Brief Overview of changes


New Transaction Types

The Term DBV service has introduced eight new transaction types:

TDO – a term DBV transaction, generated automatically when a term DBV instruction settles

TDR - a term DBV return, generated automatically when a term DBV instruction settles

TDI – a term DBV interest payment, generated automatically when a term DBV instruction settles where an interest payment was agreed

TDE – a term DBV eligibility substitution, used to replace one line of stock with one or more different lines of stock; this type of automatic substitution arises because of an event such as a security category change or an imminent corporate action

TDG – a term DBV giver recall, used to replace one line of stock with one or more different lines of stock; this type of automatic substitution arises because the stock giver needs to recall a particular stock as it is needed to settle a failing transaction

TDM – a term DBV mark-to-market transaction, used to rebalance the stock in a term DBV subject to the threshold for the given dbv class and currency

TDS - a term DBV substitution, used to vary the amount of stock in an existing line or to replace one line of stock with another; this is a manual substitution, input and matched by both participants

TDA - a term DBV adjustment, used to change the base value sought and/or the consideration of a term DBV or to rebalance intra-day


DBV Input

A new field has been introduced on the NDDN message to differentiate an overnight DBV from a Term DBV.

  • RETURN DATE

If this field is left blank then an overnight DBV is created. This field can be populated with a date of up to two years in the future to create a Term DBV.

A new field MARK TO MARKET has been applied to the NDDN message. This field will default to 'N' for overnight DBVs and 'Y' for Term DBVs.


New statuses (Party and Transaction)

The Term DBV Instruction will create a new party status of ‘X

Description

A new transaction status has been introduced of ‘K’. The 'K' status will apply to Term DBV transactions (TDO and TDR) if a substitution (TDE or TDM) is needed. This is a transitory status change and will be applied regardless of whether the substitution was successful or not. Manual (intraday) substitutions do not give rise to this status change.
