6
Non-CNS ACATS Proposal
Risk Today If NSCC ceases to act for a Member and initiates a close-out of its account, non-CNS ACATS money incentive charges may be reversed as they are not guaranteed Many of these assets settle away from DTCC This may create settlement exposure for Members as transactions may have settled versus money in the various settlement market places This may require contra Members to negotiate claims of settlement reversal money incentive charges directly with the SIPC trustee Solution Industry working group was created to address these issues DTCC issued the “Proposed Enhancements to Track Non-CNS ACATS Settlement Obligations “ Plan in Q4 2010 Proposed plan was vetted with regulators and approved by SIFMA’s Customer Account Transfer and Securities Operations Divisions
7
Mutual Funds Proposal Defined Proposed Modifications
Add Settle-Prep Status 300 to all non standard ACATS transfers that contain a mutual fund asset with settlement location 10 (ACATS- Fund/SERV) Ensures ACATS settlement date of transfer always equals last day Mutual Fund Company can respond to re-registration Impacts the following non-standard transfer types: Partial Transfer Receiver (PTR) Partial Transfer Deliverer (PTD) Residual Credit (RCR) Segregate all mutual fund transaction activity (settlement location 10 ACATS- Fund/SERV) within NSCC money settlement code 007 Original incentive charges for these assets will be removed from NSCC money settlement code 006/008 for consolidation and tracking purposes Acknowledgement reversal charges will continue to be applied under NSCC money settlement code 007
8
Mutual Funds Proposal Defined Proposed Modifications (continued)
Create a new MRO Reversal File and/or MRO Comma Delimited File for reversals resulting from a Member close-out event Create a new NSCC money settlement code for posting of mutual fund asset incentive money reversals resulting from a Member close-out event Next Steps Finalize requirements with industry working group - Q1 2011 Begin development and issue important notices - Q2 2011 Begin testing - Q3 2011 Implementation - Q4 2011
9
Other Non-CNS ACATS Assets Proposal
Conceptual Proposed Solution For the following non-CNS ACATS assets excluding cash, foreign assets and limited partnerships: Members would settle these assets effectively “free of value” on ACATS settlement date NSCC would utilize its Obligation Warehouse (OW) to track the settlement status of these ACATS Obligations NSCC would apply incentive charges only on those transactions which have not completed or failed Members would receive instructions from NSCC to re-price the settlement money on these failed transactions to the original ACATS market value Members would subsequently settle these failed transactions versus the original ACATS market value Next Steps Begin design of this solution with industry working group - Q2 2011 Implementation - Q4 2012
10
ACATS Default Pricing Current Process
When ACATS cannot find a price for a security it uses the greater of the submitter’s value or the default price determined by the Asset Pricing category chosen by the submitter on asset validation Currently, asset pricing categories EQU, FEQU, FDEB are capped at $20,000 Proposed Process If ACATS cannot find a price for a security, always use submitter’s value When entering assets in an ACATS transfer, the submitting firm should value each asset based the “value” reported on their customer’s statement
11
ACATS Fund Registration (FR) Modifications
The following changes will be made to support the passage of cost basis on mutual fund transactions and be uniform with the changes on the Fund/SERV 018 record Add a new social code value 63 – S Corporation Update the values on the “Cost Basis Code” field as follows: Value Description 0 = Unknown 1 = FIFO (First In First Out) 2 = LIFO (Last In First Out) 3 = High Cost 4 = Low Cost 5 = Average Cost 6 = Select Lot
12
ACATS Other I. Fund/SERV 018 Record – Support Passage of Cost Basis
The following fields will be added on Fund/SERV 018 record and extracted from ACATS “TI” record for a Position Transfer Fund (PTF) transfer type only Originating Receiver Firm Number field To be populated when firm = receiver and Fund/SERV agent was appointed Originating Deliverer Firm Number field To be populated when firm = deliverer and Fund/SERV agent was appointed Originating Receiver Customer Account Number at Firm field To be populated on all PTF transfers when firm = receiver No programming changes required for firms II. Common Data Transfer System - ACATS Calendar Date Change the existing 8:00 p.m. calendar date change to immediately after cycle 5 input cutoff III.

PTF Transfers Current Users What can make it easier to pass basis?
17 firms submitted records in February 2011 106 Funds participating as of February 2011 What can make it easier to pass basis? Increased participation by firms and funds CBRS already has transaction types established for PTF transfers Transaction Type 46 – Fund Deliverer/Firm Receiver Transaction Type 51 – Firm Deliverer/Fund Receiver Parties will use Fund/SERV Control Number from PTF as Transfer Control Number Funds making more of their securities eligible for ACATS-Fund/SERV This would reduce manual transfers between firms and firms This would reduce manual transfers between firms and funds Also eliminate system rejects on PTF transfer submission
