Questions Bloomberg IBOR Transition

1.1 What has been Bloomberg’s level of engagement with the ARRC or other industry working groups?

Bloomberg participates in ARRC subgroups, regularly consults regulators globally and was named fallback adjustment vendor by ISDA. Read the full announcement here:

https://www.isda.org/2019/07/31/bloomberg-selected-as-fallback-adjustment-vendor/

Bloomberg Index Services Limited (BISL) began to publish calculations related to IBOR fallback rates on July 21, 2020 . Calculations published by BISL include the adjusted RFR (compounded in arrears), the spread adjustment and the ‘all in’ IBOR fallback rates for the following IBORs across various tenors: the Australian dollar Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW), the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR), Swiss franc LIBOR, Euribor, Euro LIBOR, sterling LIBOR, HIBOR, Euroyen TIBOR, yen LIBOR, TIBOR and US dollar LIBOR.

Fallback rates are on the Bloomberg Terminal at FBAK <GO>.

Read the full announcement here:

https://www.isda.org/2020/07/21/bloomberg-begins-publishing-calculations-related-to-ibor-fallbacks/

1.2 Has Bloomberg mobilized a program to implement support for Alternative Reference Rates (ARRs)?

Yes. In fact, all applicable features of the Bloomberg Terminal (e.g., fixed income electronic trading features, data and analytics, and order management systems) have alternative risk-free rate deployed solutions, as do our Enterprise Data services (e.g., Bloomberg Data License).

1.3 Does Bloomberg have a timeline for communicating details on anticipated changes, including implementation timelines and testing strategy?

We communicate our planning efforts with updates for subscribers on RFR <GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal (below) and the sales relationship process, and on the web at https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/solution/libor-transition/.

Questions Bloomberg IBOR Transition

1.4 What capabilities is Bloomberg adding to product to make it ready in advance of the transition?

Bloomberg supports all new risk-free rate securities, has deployed new risk-free rate curves and a comprehensive set of analytics and indexes based on the IBOR replacements. The security description page (DES <GO>) under “coupon” contains fallback language.

Bloomberg Data License offers a data file for firms to identify legacy securities that have fallback language.

Bloomberg Data License has enhanced its existing reference data sets to include compounding rates (see section 4.1). Bloomberg has also enhanced corporate actions data set regarding consent solicitations for term amendments.

Bloomberg Data License will all provide BISL calculations related to IBOR fallback.

1.5 How has Bloomberg engaged with clients to communicate product plans to offer support for ARRs?

Bloomberg Terminal subscriber outreach is centralized at RFR <GO> and the sales relationship process. Updates, white papers, thought leadership are posted in the “resources tab” on RFR <GO> (below).

How has Bloomberg engaged with clients to communicate product plans to offer support for ARRs?

Information is also shared with the public at: https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/solution/libor-transition/:

• Bloomberg Selected as Fallback Adjustment Vendor

• Frequently Asked Questions on IBOR Fallback Adjustments

• IBOR Fallback Rate Adjustments Rule Book

• IBOR Fallback Test Data

• IBOR Fallback Sample Calculation

• APAC Benchmark Reform Resources

We conduct a LIBOR Transition webinar series with ISDA. Replays can be found on RFR <GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal under “Webinars.”

1.6 Does Bloomberg have any external dependencies that will impact the product development timeline?

Currently, because we have access to fallback calculation and IBOR rate-setting data, we do not believe that we have any external dependencies.

1.7 Does Bloomberg have a defined product development release strategy for IBOR transition? Does it include key milestones and capabilities?

Bloomberg is deploying solutions and researching market needs. Bloomberg anticipates new development and capabilities will arise as the market matures. For example, clearinghouses deciding to discount by SOFR would drive new requirements.

Questions Bloomberg IBOR Transition

2.0 What level of support for ARRs is provided in your current / latest version of the product?

Bloomberg is deploying solutions now.

Bloomberg supports all new risk-free rate securities, has deployed new risk-free rate curves and a comprehensive set of analytics and indexes based on the IBOR replacements. Security description pages (DES <GO>) under “coupon” contain fallback language.

Please consult RFR <GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal for specifics. Subscribers can also hit <Help> <Help> to access the Analytics desk for Bloomberg Terminal and Bloomberg Data license functionality. Bloomberg representatives are also available.

2.1 What functionality does/will Bloomberg offer to help banks migrate to ARRs?

Bloomberg Data License offers multiple products and functionality:

• A data set that identifies LIBOR securities and their fallback language;

• Enhancements to existing reference data sets to include relevant RFR data points;

• Enhancements to support new fields regarding consent solicitation for corporate actions;

• A data set for the BISL fallback calculations.

The Bloomberg Terminal service includes functionality to support the new risk-free rates. In addition, Bloomberg offers scenario analysis tools through MARS <GO>.

2.2 What data attributes will Bloomberg solution support?

The new risk-free rate compounding schedules and other related fields are supported throughout the Bloomberg eco-system.

2.3 Does Bloomberg’s product offer an out-of-the-box solution to conduct valuation impact assessments for transitioning to ARRs?

Yes, please see RISK <GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal or www.bloomberg.com/libor for further details.

2.4 Will Bloomberg’s product offer an out-of-the-box solution for reference data updates to support migration to ARR?

Yes. Currently, the risk-free rate solutions have been deployed throughout the Bloomberg ecosystem, including the Bloomberg Terminal and Bloomberg Data License. Many third parties that integrate with Bloomberg data have made changes to support the migration.

2.5 How will Bloomberg’s product calculate SOFR (e.g., simple average SOFR in arrears, compounded average SOFR in arrears)?

Bloomberg supports multiple calculation methodologies.

2.6 Will Bloomberg’s product support back office capabilities such as accounting, reporting and settling for managing SOFR?

Yes.

Questions Bloomberg IBOR Transition

2.7 Is there any guidance that Bloomberg still needs from the industry in order to determine implementation timelines updates?

Requirements for alternative reference rates in developed countries is generally known (see question 4.3).

2.8 Are you prepared for the following capabilities? PORT, AIM, TOMS, MARS, HEFF?

As an initial matter, IBOR transition to new risk-free rates (“RFR”) begins with the Bloomberg Terminal. The Terminal is responsible for bringing the IBOR rates into the Bloomberg “ticker plant” so the data can be distributed throughout the Bloomberg eco-system. Core fixed income and risk analytics create IBOR curves and other metrics. Other functions consume the IBOR data, curves and other metrics and integrate with core fixed income analytics.

PORT

A set of RFR analytics fields were introduced into PORT in June 2020 and are currently populated for five currencies. Later this year and early next year these fields will be activated for additional RFR curves. PORT’s risk models and hybrid performance attribution currently use the IBOR curves as input data. These models will be transitioned to RFR analytics as a function of liquidity in the RFR markets.

All RFR updates and statuses can be found on RFR<GO>.

There are no additional fees associated with calculating RFR analytics, enterprise reporting or other functionality that rely on these analytics.

MARS

MARS supports, in production, the ability to value and calculate risk on a range of RFR-based derivatives and cash securities.

AIM

AIM supports, in production, the ability to create trades/orders for SOFR/ESTR based swaps. For value SOFR/ESTR based swaps, AIM relies upon the MARS pricing engine for all derivative valuation, and this is in production.

AIM is in the process of updating the discounting methodology that is used for cleared & OTC swaps, in order to come into line with clearing house methodology updates. This will include enabling admins to go into the SWPM <GO> function on the Bloomberg Terminal to change to change the discounting curves on individual swaps and facilitate a spreadsheet-based update to these identified swaps.

TOMS

TOMS and ETOMS support, in production, the ability to create trades/orders for SOFR/ESTR based swaps. For value SOFR/ESTR based swaps, no work necessary, because TOMS relies upon the Bloomberg core fixed income pricing and analytics for all calculations, and these are in production.

HEFF

MARS HEFF leverages the MARS <GO> function to value the instruments supported for hedge accounting purposes. As such, please refer to MARS updates on coverage/scope.

With regard to any MARS HEFF product enhancements related to impact of interest rate reform to hedge accounting standards, we are still monitoring the final issuance of IFRS changes/updates.

The calendar in which the interest rate refixes. Available

FL136 Lockout Period

Indicates the number of days prior to the end of the current coupon rate observation period where the current rate will cease being subject to reset. The number of days captured in this field is inclusive of the final rate reset date.

Available

FL031 Current Coupon

Current period's interest rate for the security. Available for floating rate securities. This field will typically return the latest value from Floater Coupon History (FL050, FLT_CPN_HIST). For bonds with daily reset compounding structures, this will return the annualized rate for used for accrued interest calculations for the corresponding settlement date.

4.5 (cont.)

What additions to the Security Master File will be made to accommodate IBOR transition?

Field ID Description Definition Status

DS033 Coupon Current interest rate of the security. To identify zero coupon securities, use the Zero Coupon Indicator (DS174, ZERO_CPN).

Floating Rate Corporates

For securities where the rate for the current period is not yet updated in Floater Coupon History (FL050, FLT_CPN_HIST) this may return an estimated rate typically derived by adding Floater Spread (bp) (FL001, FLT_SPREAD) to the current index value in the Reset Index (FL012, RESET_IDX). For Brazil Taxa DI-Over linked securities where the Calculation Type (DS138, CALC_TYP) equals 1368 or 1401, this field returns the calculated interpolated rate without the spread. For bonds with daily reset compounding structures, this will return the estimated annualized rate for coupon cash flow calculations for the corresponding settlement date. Null values will be present when calculations are either unable to be currently supported and/or when interest is calculated at the end of each period.

Preferreds

Annualized coupon rate. Returns the coupon in either percentage or dollar/currency quote. Dollar Quoted Indicator (DX100, IS_DOLLAR_PFD) can be used to identify the quote type.

Loans

For floating rate loans, coupon is derived as the sum of Last Index Value (FL220, LAST_INDEX_VALUE) plus Current Margin (LN174, LN_CURRENT_MARGIN). Both components must have data for coupon to return a value.

For fixed rate loan, coupon is derived directly from Loan Fixed Coupon (LN043, LN_FIXED_CPN).

Commodities

The coupon value for swap note futures will be returned.

Currencies

Annualized coupon rate of the dual currency deposit (DCD). This is the enhanced coupon rate obtained by combining the bank funding rate and the option premium of the call option sold by the investor.

Fixed Income Indices

For fixed-income indices, this is the par-weighted average coupon of all members of the index.
