FpML version 5.0 An introduction Sept. 2007 Karel Engelen, ISDA Andrew Jacobs, Handcoded Marc Gratacos, ISDA Brian Lynn, Global Electronic Markets
Agenda • Major vs. Minor Releases • Technical/Architecture Changes in 5.0 • Possible Changes in 5.0 • Business Content Changes in 5.0 • Materials Distributed for 5.0 • Conclusions KEngelen
Major vs. Minor Releases • Minor versions can add new functionality but are limited • Instance documents must be backward compatible • No deletions/changes to existing elements • Legal technical/architectural changes are limited • Major versions can • Introduce more significant technical/architectural changes • Redesign existing product representations • Version 5.0 is intended to introduce technical and design changes that have been deferred for compatibility reasons AJacobs
Architectural Changes in 5.0 • Currently implemented architectural changes • Multiple Root Elements • Introduction of “Views” • These are included in first 5.0 Working Draft • Feedback is requested while other 5.0 features are being implemented AJacobs
Multiple Root Elements • FpML v 1-4.x use “<FpML>” as the root of all documents • FpML 4.x uses “xsi:type” to distinguish between message types, e.g. • <FpML version=“4-3” xsi:type=“RequestTradeMatch” … > • FpML 5.x • uses different element names to distinguish between message types (no <FpML> root any more) • Changes “version” to “fpmlVersion” to make it easier to determine where the FpML starts, e.g. • <requestTradeMatch fpmlVersion=“5-0” … > AJacobs
Example of Multiple Roots FpML 4.3 FpML 5.0 AJacobs
Rationale for Multiple Roots • Easier to understand than xsi:type • Certain tools (e.g. binding frameworks, some editors) have problems with xsi:type AJacobs
Multiple Roots • Questions about multiple root elements? AJacobs
Introduction of “Views” • Objective of views • Views in 5.0 • Example of views • Business processes by view • Implementation of views • Impact on FpML users MGratacos
Objective of views • Existing FpML has a single representation for each product • (some products have short form and long form) • FpML product representation is primarily designed for confirmation • Many details, precise description • It may be difficult to use FpML when not all detail is known/needed, e.g. • Pretrade: structuring, negotiation • Summary reporting • Making most/all elements optional would make confirmation too loose • Views are intended to provide multiple product representations, from very loose to very tight MGratacos
Views in 5.0 • FpML 5.0 currently supports 3 views • Pretrade • Very loose product representation • elements like parties, notionals, and dates are optional • Everything in confirmation view is available (maybe optional) • Reporting • Intermediate representation • Key economics are required (notionals, key dates, parties) but details are not (e.g. date adjustments) • Everything in confirmation view is available (maybe optional) • Confirmation • As current 4.x product representation MGratacos
Example • Pretrade IR Swap, for RFQ • Required • Floating rate index • Optional • Payer/receiver parties • Effective and Termination dates • Calculation Frequency • Payment date details • Notional • Fixed Rate • Day Count Fraction • Adjustments MGratacos
Example • Reporting IR Swap • Required • Floating rate index • Payer parties • Effective and Termination dates • Notional • Fixed Rate • Optional • Receiver Parties • Calculation Frequency • Payment date details • Day Count Fraction • Adjustments MGratacos
Example • Confirmation IR Swap • Required • Floating rate index • Payer/receiver parties • Effective and Termination dates • Notional • Fixed Rate • Calculation Frequency • Payment date details • Day Count Fraction • Adjustments MGratacos
Business Processes by View • Pre-trade • RFQ • Confirmation • Confirmation, • Post-trade event confirmation • Reporting • Everything else, e.g. • Allocation • Contract Notification • Reconciliation (cash flow and portfolio) • Valuation reporting • Post-trade event negotiation MGratacos
Views - Implementation • FpML maintains a single master schema • Master schema contains annotations with view-specific details, • “make this optional in view X” • “put this only in view Y” • FpML publishes separate view-specific schemas, one per view • Each view is generated from the master prior to publication • Each view has documentation and examples • Each view-specific schema will have its own namespace, e.g., • http://www.fpml.org/FpML-5-0/pretrade • End users will use a view-specific schema, not the master MGratacos
Views - Impact • FpML users must decide which view (schema) to use for a given application/system • Business processes are generally contained in a single view • Some messages may be available in several views (e.g. “MessageRejected”) • Once the view is selected, instance documents should be closely compatible with previous FpML versions • Choosing a looser view (e.g. pre-trade) allows more flexibility about what data must be included in an instance document MGratacos
Views - Impact • Extensions will be impacted by the views • Extensions will need to import the appropriate views (e.g. <xsd:import namespace=“http://www.fpml.org/FpML-5-0/pretrade” …> • Extensions applicable to multiple views will need to be duplicated MGratacos
Views - Feedback Requested • Number of views • Business processes per view • Product representation per view • Issues related to in-house extensions MGratacos
Views • Questions about views? MGratacos
Possible Changes in 5.0 • Product representation • A task force is starting to look at refactoring product designs • Aim for increased consistency across asset classes • Better support for multi-feature and hybrid products • More generic FX option product representation • Swaption, equity option, and FX option representations aligned with new CDS options and bond options models. • Message architecture • Discussions are on-going about rationalizing/ refactoring message set to improve consistency and completeness • Identification • There are ongoing discussions about trade, event, and business process identification that may result in changes • These are not major technical changes, but must be in a major version due to backward incompatibility AJacobs
Business Content Changes in 5.0 • Currently, plans are for NO “new” business content in 5.0 • No new products • No new product features • No new business processes • EXCEPT possibly as below • As a result of the refactoring/redesign, there may be new business capabilities in 5.0 • Pre-trade capability across many products • New messages (more complete and consistent) • More flexible product capabilities (e.g. combinations of features) AJacobs
Business Content Changes in 5.0 • In addition, deprecated structures in 4.x versions will be removed, e.g. • A2A Messages (TradeCreated, etc.) • Equity Swaps • Contractual Supplement • some minor date-related options AJacobs
Business Content Changes in 5.0 • Questions about business content changes? AJacobs
