Group Charter

Scope: Create an FpML product representation for OTC contracts for repurchasing securities and for lending securities. These product representations should be usable for activities such as:
  • Repo confirmation
  • position and risk reporting
  • consolidated activity reporting
  • trade instructions
Interaction with other FpML groups:
  • This group may need to coordinate with the Business Processing working group on activity reporting and trade instructions
Interactions with other standards:
  • There is some overlap in this work with certain ISO 15022 messages. This working group will review the relevant ISO 15022 messages as an input to the product definition.
Inputs:
  • JPMorgan proposal for representing repos.
  • Citco/GEM proposal for representing repos.
Skills: The group requires skills in at least the following areas:
  • Repo agreement data content.
  • Stock loan agreement data content.
  • ISO 15022 repo message content.
