If sequence C Financial Instrument/Account is present only once, the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) must not bepresent in sequence C (Error code(s): E88).

C3

If sequence C is present two or more times, the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) must be present in every occur-rence of sequence C or in none (Error code(s): E89).

In the former case (when sequence C is present two or more times and the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) ispresent in every occurrence of sequence C) then:

the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) must be present in one occurrence of subsequence E3 andthe sum of all occurrences of the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) in sequence C must be equal to the SettledAmount (field :19A::ESTT) in subsequence E3 andthe currency code in the settled amounts (fields 19A::ESTT in (sub)sequences C and E3) must be the same for all occurrences of these fields in the message.

C4

If an Exchange Rate (field :92B::EXCH) is present, the corresponding Resulting Amount (field :19A::RESU) must bepresent in the same subsequence. If the Exchange Rate is not present then the Resulting Amount is not allowed. Thischeck applies to subsequence E3 (Error code(s): E62).

It is mandatory to specify a Settled Amount: one occurrence of subsequence E3 Amount must contain field:19A::ESTT (Error code(s): E92).

If sequence C Financial Instrument/Account is present only once, the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) must not bepresent in sequence C (Error code(s): E88).

If sequence C is present two or more times, the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) must be present in every occur-rence of sequence C or in none (Error code(s): E89).

In the former case (when sequence C is present two or more times and the Settled Amount (field :19A::ESTT) ispresent in every occurrence of sequence C) then:

MT 558 Usage RulesTriparty Scenario’s

The triparty collateral management service is used by two trading parties at the agreement of a business transaction (eg, arepo, a securities loan, ... ) when they want to secure the transaction with collateral. The management of this collateral (ie, agreeing on quantity and type, marking to market, ... ) is done by a third party, the triparty collateral manager.

Before starting to use these services, the three parties will first sign a contract in which they stipulate the rules of the agree-ment.

There are three types of triparty collateral management:

1. collateral management without settlement,

2. collateral management with settlement of the collateral on the books of the agent,

3. collateral management with external settlement.

4. In the first scenario the triparty agent will calculate the necessary quantity of collateral and instruct the trading partieson which movements need to occur. Eg, party A and party B closed a repo deal for 1,000,000 USD. They inform thetriparty agent of the deal details. The agent will then calculate which pieces of collateral need to be moved to cover the1,000,000 USD exposure and will inform the trading parties. Parties A and B then settle the movements as instructedby the agent.

In the second scenario the triparty agent will also execute the settlement. By servicing a safekeeping account for bothparties, the agent will not only calculate the necessary movements but will also settle them internally on its books.

The third scenario is only a slight deviation from the second one. In this case the agent has the authority to move secu-rities from party A’s and B’s safekeeping accounts with their respective subcustodians.

Tri-party Definitions

Collateral Management Transaction

The triparty agent will create this transaction on receipt of the deal information from the two trading parties. Eg, whenparty A and B have agreed on a securities loan and have reported this information to the triparty agent, the agent willcreate a collateral management transaction to manage this securities loan on its internal systems.

A transaction is created, can be changed and is terminated.

Collateral Management Instruction

The trading parties will request the triparty manager to perform certain instructions on the collateral management trans-action. An instruction can be to initiate a transaction, modify the terms of a transaction, or close a transaction (non-exhaustive list of instructions). The triparty agent will send feedback on the requested instruction.

Lifecycle of Collateral Management Transaction

When a transaction is initiated, agreed on by both parties, accepted and declared valid by the triparty agent, the lifecy-cle of the transaction starts. The transaction will normally last as long as the underlying deal. At the end of its lifecyclea transaction is closed.

Lifecycle of Collateral Management Instruction

The lifecycle of a collateral management instruction starts when the user of the triparty service sends an instructionmessage. At receipt of the instruction message, the triparty agent will process the instruction and assign a status (ie,valid or rejected). At each step in the lifecycle of an instruction a different status will be assigned. Eg, an instructioncan be valid for processing or rejected because it is incorrect. If an instruction needs to be matched (eg, two initiation- instructions from party A and B need to match) it can have a status matched or unmatched. Other statuses describe the sufficiency or eligibility of the collateral.

MT 564 Usage RulesThe same details must not be repeated in both the Corporate Action Details sequence and the Corporate Action Optionssequence. The Corporate Action Details sequence should convey details that are common to the corporate action eventwhile details appearing in the Corporate Action Option sequence should be specific only to the specific option.If a corporate action event involves a disbursement of cash, the Currency field (field 11A) should be present. If theaccount owner has a choice of multiple currencies, the Corporate Action Option sequence should be repeated once foreach currency offered.The Financial Instrument Attribute (FIA) sequence is intended to provide additional information regarding the termsand conditions of a securities issue. The objective of the FIA sequence is to ensure unambiguous identification of the security by the Receiver. It is recommended that the FIA sequence not be used unless required by a specific corporateaction event, pursuant to a bilateral agreement, or when a valid ISIN or security identifier is not available.The MT 564 can be used to announce the basic details of a proxy voting event. For the complete agenda an MT 568 Corporate Action Narrative, using the same corporate action reference in the linkages sequence, should be used.

MT 565 Usage RulesSequence Financial Instrument Attribute (FIA) is intended to provide additional information regarding the terms and conditions of a securities issue. The objective of the sequence FIA is to ensure unambiguous identification of the secu-rity by the Receiver. It is recommended that the sequence FIA not be used unless required by a specific corporateaction event, pursuant to a bilateral agreement, or when a valid ISIN or security identifier is not available.Field 11A Currency in sequence D Corporate Action Instruction provides an instruction to the account servicer toexecute a forex deal on behalf of the account owner. The purpose of the forex deal is to fund an investment decision orto repatriate proceeds at the completion of a transaction. This field is not to be used when standing instructions havebeen established. The use of a forex instruction implies the following:

the currency required for funding a purchase of securities, eg, the currency to be purchased, is indicated by the settlement currency of the transaction. The currency to be sold to obtain settlement currency is indicated by the qualifier FXIS. Normally, this will be the base currency of the portfolio.the currency received as proceeds from the sale of securities, eg, the currency to be sold, is indicated within the transaction details. Therefore, the currency to be bought must be indicated by the qualifier FXIB. If proceeds are repatriated, this will be the base currency of the portfolio.the amount of currency to be bought/sold is equal to the settlement amount of the transaction. Thus the forex instruction must not be used for other transactions; a bulk forex deal must be instructed by other means.a forex deal to fund the purchase of securities should be executed in time for the currency to be available on the settlement date of the securities transaction. A forex deal to repatriate proceeds after the sale of securities shouldbe executed for the soonest possible value date after settlement of the securities, as permitted by market conven-tion.a bilateral agreement regarding the use of this field has been established.
