### 1.4 FpML INTRODUCTION

The Financial Products Markup Language (FpML) is the industry standard enabling e-business activities in the field of financial derivatives and structured products. The development of the standard, controlled by ISDA (the International Swaps and Derivatives Association), will ultimately allow the electronic integration of a range of services, from electronic trading and confirmations to portfolio specification for risk analysis. All types of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives will, over time, be incorporated into the standard.

FpML is an application of XML, an internet standard language for describing data shared between computer applications.

### 1.5 REQUESTED FEEDBACK

####

1.5.1 New Regulatory Reporting Views

The FpML Reporting Working Group has defined two new views, "Transparency" and "Recordkeeping", to support parties and execution facilities reporting trading activity into Swaps Data Repositories (SDRs), as required by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission's 17 CFR 43 and 45, and similar requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission in 17 CFR 240. The FpML Standards Committee invites comments on the proposed materials including schemas, examples, and documentation.

In WD#2, a number of new products have been added to Transparency view. The changes versus Confirmation view have been modeled on other products in WD#1, but the product representations have not yet been reviewed in detail in the working group. The FpML Reporting Working Group invites feedback on the detailed contents in Transparency view of any product.

####

1.5.2 Message Framework/Correlation ID

The FpML Business Process Working Group has adjusted the multiplicity of the correlation IDs and is seeking feedback on this change. In particular, is there a need for multiple correlation IDs if the correlation ID on original requests is made optional?

####

1.5.3 Providing Feedback

Comments on this document should be sent by filling in the form at the following link: http://www.fpml.org/issues.

### 1.6 CHANGES IN THIS VERSION

####

1.6.1 Changes compared to FpML 5.3 WD #1

  - Added support for modeling people (such as employees) and business units within parties, and added detail to the partyTradeInformation block to allow their role within a transaction to be recorded. (This is still in progress and may be adjusted in a future draft.)
  - Added several fields to the partyTradeInformation to support SDR reporting (these are mostly needed for recordkeeping view, but are available in other views as well. Fields include "collateralized" indicator, a "boardOfDirectorsApproval", field, and a verificationPurpose field. Also renamed confirmationType to confirmationPurpose. (This is still in progress and may be adjusted in a future draft.)
  - Adjusted the "attachment" element in "documentation" to support multiple attachments per trade.
  - Interest Rate Derivatives:
    - (Excluding Transparency view) Implemented IRD WG proposal to incorporate the new Supplement to the 2006 ISDA Definitions relating to physical settlement of swaptions.

####

1.6.5 Incompatible changes compared to FpML 5.1

None.

### 1.7 SCOPE

The scope of FpML 5.3 includes broadened BusinessProcess/Messaging coverage and additional product support, specifically:

####

1.7.1 Architecture Framework

The various Working Groups have developed FpML 5.3 within the FpML Architecture 3.0 Specification defined by the Architecture Working Group. This document defines that standards and principles on which the FpML grammatical definitions are based.

The FpML Architecture 3.0 builds upon the earlier FpML Architecture specifications and the conventions of FpML 1.02b before that. The refinement of the FpML architecture is an evolutionary process bought about by changes in the XML technology upon which it is based and the requirements of the standard as its scope expands.

####

1.7.2 Business Process Scope

The FpML Messaging Task Force group was formed to define a new messaging framework that insures consistent processes across trades and post-trade events, observable completion, consistent message correlation, consistent error reporting, consistent correction and retraction.

Most of the FpML 5 business processes are “generic” processes that can apply to new trades and/or any post-trade events. This means that the message name indicates the business process (e.g. confirmation, execution notification, etc.) but not the type of event (e.g. trade, amendment, etc.). The payload of the message indicates the type of the event.

The business processes currently supported include:

##### 1.7.2.1 Generic processes:

##### 1.7.2.1.1 Reporting

- Portfolio reconciliation
- Cash flow matching
- Valuation
- Position and activity reporting
- Reset reporting
- Credit event notice
- Collateral margin call, collateral substitution, interest (new for version 5)

To support these business processes, a number of messages have been defined. Please see the "Business Process Architecture" section for more information.

####

1.7.3 Validation Scope

The Validation Working Group provides semantic, or business-level validation rules for FpML 5.3. These validation rules, which are aimed at normalizing the use of elements within FpML, are issued as part of the FpML Specification in the validation section of this document.

The validation working group publishes with its releases:

- A set of rules described in English
- Positive and negative test case documents for each rule
- Non-normative reference implementations

The current specification includes a set of rules for Interest Rate Derivatives, Equity Derivatives, Credit Derivatives, Loans, FX, and for shared components. The rules for the different asset classes will be further enhanced in future versions.

####

- Single and Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swap
- Forward Rate Agreement

1.7.6 FX Scope

The Scope of FpML 5.3 Working Draft #2 includes redesigned FX product model developed by the Modeling Task Force (MTF) and FX Working Group to make it more consistent with other FpML product representations and to facilitate its further development. As a result of this work many of an original 4.x model’s issues were addressed:

- A number of sets of reusable components that facilitates product development were defined, so that the existing and future FX products will leverage these building blocks to ensure the FX model is coherent and easy to maintain, as per FpML best practices
- Extended the existing coverage to include Dual Currency Deposits.
- Rationalized the models' constraints:
  - Made use of grammar to bring related data together.
  - Made better use of XML schema to simplify the validation rules.

In FpML 5.3 Working Draft #2 the following FX products are covered:

- Basic FX Products
  - FX Spot and FX Forward (including non-deliverable settlements, or NDFs)
  - FX Swap

####

1.7.7 Equity Derivative Options and Forwards Scope

The EQD Products Working Group has extended the FpML standard to cover the following Equity Derivative products

- Broker Equity Options;
- Long Form Equity Forwards;
- Long Form Equity Options;
- Short Form Equity Options represented as Transaction Supplements under ISDA Master Confirmation Agreements.

####

1.7.8 Return Swaps Scope

FpML provides generic Return Swaps support including "long form" Equity Swap representations, as well as Total Return Swaps. A separate product element called equitySwapTransactionSupplement supports "short form" Equity Swap Transaction Supplement.

Return-type Swaps have 1-to-many Legs, all of which must be derived from the ReturnSwapLeg type. Instances of Legs are returnLeg, interestLeg. Other Leg types may be derived from ReturnSwapLeg at will, to allow for private extensions to support whatever type of Generic Return Swap is desired.

The scope of this FpML representation for return swaps is to capture the following types of swaps that have equity-related underlyers:

- Single stock swaps as well as basket swaps (i.e. swaps with multiple underlyers);
- Swaps that have a different types of underlying assets (equity, index, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, convertible bond, futures), or a combination of these;
- 2-legged swaps with a combination of an equity leg and a funding leg, as well as swaps that either have only one leg (e.g. fully funded or zero-strike swap) or multiple equity legs (e.g. outperformance swaps);
- Total Return Swaps, a type of swap in which one party (total return payer) transfers the total economic performance of a reference obligation to the other party (total return receiver).
- Swaps that have specific adjustment conditions, such as execution swaps or portfolio rebalancing swaps;
- Swaps that involve the exchange of principal cashflows;
- Swaps that have inital and final stubs;
- Swaps which can be represented as Transaction Supplements under ISDA Master Agreements;

Extraordinary Events terms have been incorporated, to take into consideration the release of the 2002 ISDA Definitions for Equity Derivatives.

Trigger swaps, in which equity risk morphs into a fixed income risk once a certain market level is reached, may be supported in a subsequent release.

####

- Correlation Swaps

####

1.7.10 Variance Derivatives Scope

- Short Form Variance Options represented also as Transaction Supplements under ISDA Master Confirmation Agreements.

####

1.7.11 Dividend Derivatives Scope

The Equity Derivative Working Group extended FpML to cover:

- Dividend Swap Transaction Supplement

### 1.8 CHARACTER ENCODING AND CHARACTER REPERTOIRE

####

1.8.1 Character Encoding

Producers of FpML documents intended for interchange with other parties must encode such documents using either UTF-8 or UTF-16. Consumers of FpML documents must be able to process documents encoded using UTF-8, as well as documents encoded using UTF-16. For more information, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charencoding

####

1.8.2 Character Repertoire

Unrestricted FpML elements may use any valid XML characters. For more information, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charsets

Certain elements and attributes (such as scheme URIs) are defined with more restrictive types, such as xsd:normalizedString, xsd:token, or xsd:anyURI. For these types, please see the relevant data type definition in the XML Schema datatypes specification:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/

### 1.9 TOOLS AND VALIDATION
