FpML-EQD Multiple Exchange Index Annex II



Hi all,

 

Just wanted to give a heads up for those who may be unaware, that ISDA are currently working on the publication of a second Multiple Exchange Index Annex. I was hopeful that this would simply replace the pre-existing MEIA but it appears at this time that there will be elections available at a T-Supp level as to which will apply (taken from latest EU Index Swap GTC).

 

Exchange(s):                                         [●] [Multiple Exchange] [Multiple Exchange II]

 

This will cause FpML issues if it goes ahead as MEIA is currently handled by the <multipleExchangeIndexAnnexFallback> element within equityOptionTransactionSupplement. This element is currently a Boolean and has no ability to represent different instances of the annex.

 

We could introduce a secondary MEIA annex element, but this has the potential to be slightly confusing.

 

Clive, how certain is it that the two MEIA annexes will exist in parallel?

 

Regards,
