16. Too many cooks?

17. Standards Group Agenda
• To highlight work that is currently ongoing within the
industry around data standards and market practices in the
post-trade space
• To identify the common points of interest/pain within these
groups and facilitate communication across groups (buy-
side/sell-side etc) – reduce duplicative work
• To examine how all of this work will impact the clearing and
settlement lifecycle as a whole – are we pushing risk
further down the process?

18. Don’t ignore what’s going on around
you…look at the bigger picture.

19. Aims
• Tracking industry standards and market practices
progress – living document
• Identify areas of common interest
• Map to clearing and settlement lifecycle – where
are groups missing a trick?
• Which data standards are currently being used by
the incumbent market infrastructures?

20. Keeping in mind ESMA’s trade
reporting proposals
• ID standards: Mention of LEI, BIC and BEI;
unique trade identifier; unique product ID
• Clearing – market practice implications
• Trade repository reporting market practices

21. Areas of Focus
Topics closest to the top of your agendas that we
should focus on initially:
• New data standards – LEI, UPI, USI, UTI etc
• Messaging standards – FIX, ISO, FpML etc
• Market practices for C&S process-
allocation, confirmation, affirmation, settlement
, low tech clients, reconciliation

22. • Regulatory influence – which pieces of regulation
can we have a material impact upon?
• Points of interaction between clients and firms –
how do we change downstream issues? Can
standardise internally but point of entry remains
a problem
• Cultural issues internally – raising the profile of
these standards issues for C-level
• Global dynamics – are we on the same page?

23. Regulations of interest
• MiFIR/MiFID II
• EMIR
• CSD Directive
• Securities Law Directive
• Dodd-Frank
• Solvency II (for buy-side)
• FATCA
• Basel 2.5 and III
• Financial stability/living wills regulation

24. Next steps
• Which pieces of regulation can be influenced?
• Where are market practices lacking? Review common
areas of focus across working groups
• What can be learned from other markets?
• How do we make post-trade teams’ lives easier?
• Contributions to the living document and priority list
• Keeping an eye on infrastructure developments…
