Summary:
This Functional Information provides an overview of the new Break Date order type that was introduced on December 13, 2023:
The new Break Date order type simplifies month/quarter/year-end trading, establishes standardized settlement dates for better balance sheet management and helps to increase transparency.
- Introduced for GC Pooling and Special Market, can be entered as Quote / RfQ or Pre-arranged.
- Execution of the new order type will result in F7 generated series of forward repos (Flex Term / Non-Standard Term).
- All forward repos will have the same repo rate or offset in the case of variable repos.
- They are characterized by specific start dates (spot & flex/non-standard) and end dates (M1, M3, M6, M12 & flex/non-standard).
- Break dates occur on the first business day of each month or quarter.
- Importantly, each forward repo has its own unique trade identifier (UTI).
