Release Items/Participants Requirements
Feature/Enhancement | Details | Action Item |
Improved validation for reset date business day rules | We are implementing an enhancement for the Validation of the reset date business day convention to improve data integrity for OTC IRS trades. The system will now reject trades that combine a 'Business Day Convention' of ‘NONE’ with a 'Fixing Days Offset' of '0'. This change ensures the fixing day is always a valid business day and aligns our validation with the existing process for MarkitWire trades. | There is no action required. |
Report Changes | With the upcoming release, we are introducing Report Changes to improve your reporting experience. Key updates include:
| We kindly ask all Clearing Members to ensure that the relevant report changes are reflected in their internal processes. |
Amendments in API Changes | We are implementing Amendments in API Changes to improve data integrity through stricter validation. The following rules will apply to all IRS trade submissions:
Submissions that fail these checks will be rejected across all platforms, including APIs and MarkitWire. Please update your systems accordingly. | We kindly ask all Clearing Members to ensure that relevant API changes are reflected in their internal processes. |
GUI Changes | To improve usability, our OTC GUI now supports partial transfers via the "Portfolio Upload" feature. This is enabled by a new "Partial Transfer Amount" column, which works as follows:
Important: This feature is not supported for partial transfers of VIRS and SCIS trades with varying notionals. | There is no action required. |
MC GUI Changes | We are improving the MC GUI to give you more control when checking trade eligibility. With our next release, you will find an enhancement to the Clearing Eligibility Checker for IRS and OIS products. On the "Holidays" tab, we've added two new fields. This update gives you the flexibility to enter separate Payment Lags and Holiday Centers for each leg of your trade, allowing for more precise and granular eligibility checks. | There is no action required. |
Split Trade Functionality/ Partial Portfolio Transfer | With the new Split Trade Functionality, you can now execute a Partial Portfolio Transfer for eligible IRD trades. This allows you to transfer only a portion of a trade's notional amount. The system will then automatically terminate the original trade and create two new ones reflecting the split. This enhancement offers greater flexibility, allowing you to combine full and partial transfers in one request. Note that this does not apply to VIRS or SCIS trades with varying notionals. | There is no action required. |
Enhancement of Netting process | To improve data integrity, we have made an Enhancement of the Netting process for trades containing several "Upfront Fees." The new logic works as follows:
This automated change ensures your netted trades process correctly and remain synchronized with MarkitWire. | There is no action required. |
