RE: FpML-EQD AP Actions Completed FW: FpML EQD WG Minutes 14:00 LDN Wed 23 Sep 2009



Andrew,

 

We are wondering there might be some misunderstandings re removal of “HedgeExecution”.

 

As I recall from recent European drafting discussions, Hedge Execution could mean establishing hedge or unwinding hedge depending on the context, so while it may mean establishing hedge in the strict sense, currently it appears to be regarded to mean either, like "HedgePartyDetermination" suggested below.

 

From the systems view point we could make it work by passing "HedgePartyDetermination" where Hedge Execution is selected on the GUI. However, the term Hedge Execution has been used in ISDA MCAs and live trades containing the value “HedgeExecution” already exist, so we would propose to retain the value in the determination-method scheme (unless have missed further implications against it).

 

(If “HedgeExecution” is to be retained, "HedgeUnwind" in samples should be changed to “HedgeExecution” accordingly.)

 

Please advise.

Regards,

Takeo

=== Add to determination-method coding scheme ===

 

1. "ValuationTime" described as "Price determined at valuation time"

NOTE context is always explicit, since within <rateOfReturn> we have <initialPrice>, <valuationPriceInterim>, <valuationPriceFinal>

 

2. "HedgingParty" described as "Determined by the Hedging Party"

 

3. "DividendCurrency" described as "Determined by the Currency of Equity Dividends"

 

4. "CalculationAgent" described as "Determined by the Calculation Agent"

 

 

=== Remove from determination-method coding scheme ===

 

1. "None" since in makes no business sense to use the element <determinationMethod> with this value  

 

2. "HedgeExecution" since this could mean "putting hedge in place" and should be replaced by "HedgePartyDetermination"

NOTE sample value "HedgeUnwind" could mean "removing hedge" and should be replaced by "HedgePartyDetermination"

 

 

=== Changes to samples ===

 

1. "PriceAtValuationTime" to "ValuationTime"

 

2. "HedgeUnwind" to "HedgingParty"

 

3. "GoodFaith" to "CalculationAgent"

 

 

=== Approach to free text within <determinationMethod> ===

 

Users should SHOULD NOT use free text within this element

 

Users MAY provide their own over ride coding scheme

* Present

 

ISDA: Irina Yermakova

DTCC: Robert Masri, Chise Yamamoto

JPM: Andrew Parry ( Chair )

MarkIt: Takeo Asakura

Omgeo: Tom Brown

 

 

* Minutes

 

Last standards committee meeting minutes contained a policy statement on the approach to FpML-4-x and FpML-5-x which will be circulated to this group

 

AP telephone TA prior to this meeting for a Q&A session on forward starting support for swaps. The answers were satisfactory, and the wider group has reached consensus

 

TA will propose solution to clearly separate MCA and MCA Annex values in support of "The ISDA 2009 Equity European Annex to the ISDA 2009 European Master Equity Derivatives Confirmation Agreement"

 

FpML Roadmap update has been completed as per our request, but has not yet been uploaded to the FpML website

 

US Client Option legal draft will be published soon, also PAISS, PAISS ( Interdealer ) Index is the next schedule

 

FpML side is on target to meeting NY Fed Commitments, delays are from legal drafting, we need to keep communicating to the EIG and Swap WG that we need lead time to develop FpML to match legal drafts

 

Swap WG working on H1 2010 commitments

 

Equity Trade Repository presentations made last week, we are now in the 2nd round

 

We need to correct the population of determination-method coding scheme, and usage of these values in sample files, at first pass

 

1) “PriceAtValuationTime” -->  may be ambiguous, consider initial, final and interim, need to check each context

2) “HedgeUnwind” vs. HedgeExecution --> may be ambiguous

3) “DividendCurrency” multiple implementation methods, such as currencyReference ( link to div currency ),

also consider if this is implemented on the transaction supplement 

4) “GoodFaith” values in sample should be changed to "CalculationAgent"

5) “PublishedIndexAtValuationTime” values in samples should be changed to “PriceAtValuationTime” since this is applicable to

all underlyer types

 

Free text values with <determinationMethod> should over ride the default coding scheme

 

 

* Decisions

 

1. We accept the proposal for forward starting support contained in the branch "FpML-4-7-EQD-1"

2. "ReturnSwapCurrency.model" should be named "CurrencyAndDeterminationMethod.model" in line with FpML-5-x

3. We should continue to clearly separate MCA and MCA Annex values

4. Free text entries within element <determinationMethod> should always over ride default coding scheme

5. Change value "GoodFaith" within <determinationMethod> element to "CalculationAgent" within samples

5. We welcome Christina MacDonald of BBH as a new observer to the group

6. Next meeting 14:00 LDN Friday 02 Oct 2009

 

 

* Actions

 

TA propose solution for MCA and MCA Annex values ( recap follows below )

 

"The value "ISDA2009EquityEuropean" (“The ISDA 2009 Equity European Annex to the ISDA 2009 European Master

Equity Derivatives Confirmation Agreement.”) was added to “MasterConfirmationAnnexType” scheme. What is a

corresponding value in the “MasterConfirmationType” scheme?

 

Here is Takeo’s comments:

 

“We are not sure with the scheme value. This probably needs discussions in the next FpML call.

 

*           The annex value "ISDA2009EquityEuropean" does not state whether it is Index or Share.

*           The annotation states (“ISDA 2009 European Master… “) but the docs heading states (“2009 European Interdealer Master…”)

*           Note that the 2009 Index Annex is a client template so comes under the 2007 MCA”

 

IY rename "ReturnSwapCurrency.model" to "CurrencyAndDeterminationMethod.model" in FpML-4-x series

IY upload updated roadmap to FpML website

IY add Christina MacDonald of BBH as a new observer to the group

IY within EQS sample files change <determinationMethod> values as follows

1) “GoodFaith” values in sample should be changed to "CalculationAgent"

2) “PublishedIndexAtValuationTime” values in samples should be changed to “PriceAtValuationTime”
