The BoE post-trade task force recently published the report “Charting the future of Post-Trade” and the FICC Markets Standards Board (FMSB) has agreed to take the Task Force’s work forward through FMSB’s new Post-Trade Committee
Three key areas were identified for improvement in post-trade processing –
1. Non-Economic Trade Data
“Develop and promote a set of best practices on sharing LEIs early in trade life cycles and efficient electronic processes for sharing Standard Settlement Instructions”
2. Uncleared Margin
“Leadership group should work alongside ISDA to design next steps to increase adoption of best practices, define, gather and publish industry-wide metrics, and investigate the introduction of a fully digitized system”
3. Client Onboarding
– The establishment of forums to discuss standardizing document requirements
– Work should be undertaken to make existing platforms more interoperable or creating a single platform.
