Re: FpML-CD Emerging Markets Standardisation



Hi All,

With EMK Standardisation, it might be opportune for the WG to review the 
following element:

FpML/trade/creditDefaultSwap/protectionTerms/creditEvents/restructuring/multipleHolderObligation

type="Empty" minOccurs="0"

Documentation:

"In relation to a restructuring credit event, unless multiple holder 
obligation is not specified restructurings are limited to multiple holder 
obligations. A multiple holder obligation means an obligation that is held 
by more than three holders that are not affiliates of each other and where 
at least two thirds of the holders must agree to the event that 
constitutes the restructuring credit event. ISDA 2003 Term: Multiple 
Holder Obligation."

The issue is that MHO is applicable to the vast majority of Single Name 
CDS yet we never see it on the incoming FpML that we receive from brokers. 
This is because MHO is intrinsic to the matrix transaction types and has 
no financial impact, I assume. A strict FpML processor should create such 
trades without MHO being applicable, which would consequently take them 
out of short form confirmation. 

With the EMK transaction types, MHO does not normally apply except in 
certain cases, where the Obligation is a Loan rather than a Bond. It would 
be good if this could be reasonably easily transmitted in FpML.

My suggestion would be a new optional element :

FpML/trade/creditDefaultSwap/protectionTerms/creditEvents/restructuring/noMultipleHolderObligation

this recognises that MHO "applicable" is de facto the normal case and 
allows us to manage by exception. 

This is all very low priority from BNPP's point of view but may be more of 
interest to other institutions.

Regards,

Ian

FpML-CD Emerging Markets Standardisation






Hi all, 
I understand the latest industry initiatives for single name 
standardisation has been agreed upon (see attached note from ISDA). The 
following products are in scope:
Emerging Market Corporate 
Emerging Market Sovereign 
Latin American Corporate 
Latin American Sovereign 
CDX Emerging Market Index 
As far as I understand the product characteristics seem to be similar to 
previous implementations of SNAC / SEC. Specifically:
Payment Frequency: Change from Semi-Annual to Quarterly 
Fixed Spreads of 100 or 500 
Upfront fee to settle the traded spread / up-front points and accrued 
interest 
Full First Coupon 
Standard maturity Date (Mar-20, Jun-20, Sep-20, Dec-20). 
It appears that the work done to model previous implementations of SEC / 
SNAC should accommodate the above so do we just need to specify the new 
matrix transaction / broker conf types within FpML? 
Thanks

Mike

Subject:                     Emerging Markets Coupon Standardization
 
A working group of industry representatives has agreed to market practice 
changes for Emerging Markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle 
East, Africa and Latin America. The group agreed to adopt 100 and 500 bps 
as the standardized trading coupons to be implemented effective the 
September 20 2009 roll date. Additional coupons for trading or 
back-loading could be introduced at a later time if and when the need 
arises. In addition the group agreed to move from semi annual to quarterly 
payments and full first coupons at the same time. These changes, with a 
goal to further standardization, follow the move towards the use of 
quarterly rolls, which became effective on June 22, 2009. Newly formed 
working groups for Japan and Asia ex Japan are discussing similar 
standardization efforts for the APAC region.
