Transformation of Credit Derivatives Market • Rapid, multi-dimensional growth on a global scale • Trading volumes; new products; new market participants; secondary market development • Rapid spread of automated trade confirmation • Bulk of all trading is now confirmed on an automated basis – both inter-dealer and dealer-to-customer Trends create both concern around post-trade processing and opportunity to mitigate
Growth in Credit Derivatives Market(Notional Value Outstanding) $US Trillions

Current Bilateral Administration Environment Parties must constantly “sync up” during contract life • Payments, events, margining, etc. • Many manual and duplicative reconciliation/resolution processes (internal and between firms) Each party is hostage to its counterparties’ processing • You’re only as good as your counterparty – your records may be right, but if your counterparty disagrees or doesn’t know, you have a problem • Operating models vary across firms: different processes for different counterparties
Central Trade Information Warehouse Two primary components: • A comprehensive, centralized trade database with the most up-to-date record of each contract • A central processing capability to standardize and automate “downstream” processing of payments and other post-confirm processes • Processing flows automatically from the electronic confirmation environment
Model for Warehouse • Central asset servicing through central securities depositories or listed derivative clearing houses But • NO book-entry DVP services and • NO central counterparty (CCP) credit intermediation Complexities of OTC derivatives demanded a multitude of unique and innovative servicing solutions.
