Ultimately…

Processing costs rise as volumes increase, while margins continue to fall

On top of this - mandated management and

implementation of regulatory change

– Mexico and Colombia - regulation driving higher level confirmation closer to the point of execution – a process not undertaken by custodians

– In Colombia – regulation 1242, and move split of custodian bank duties – a change mandated in law

– Chile - pension funds looking to extend their reach direct to funds in US/Europe. More accountability, transparency, visibility and reporting of underlying funds

– Brazil, Colombia and Mexico - Increased need for control of investment activity post crisis most of which mandate reporting, or automated affirmation, with at minimum punitive resultant fines for non compliance


The Impacts of Legislature and Market

Change

• Matching timeframe consistency is considered desirable, in what is presently a disjointed ‘by market’ approach to settlement instruction and matching (examples Latin America to Europe and USA).

• An efficient fails process for trades that have failed to settle is required, these fails could be reduced by increased capture in affirmation.

• Minimising fails, will minimise financial fines, buy in penalties and collateral/margin requirements.

• Further downstream impact to Corporate Actions, Stock Lending, Associated FX transactions.


Moving from manual to automated

environments

• Funds are becoming a Global Business, requiring Global connectivity. Funds are getting bigger and more sophisticated

• Around 50% of most institutions trades are not positively affirmed, and industry statistics show that a positively affirmed, or matched trade is 37 times less likely to fail – hence a lessor requirement for Collateral sourcing, Margin and Funding.

• Continual focus on cost forces institutions to find better priced, resilient solutions


How is SWIFT supporting the Latin

American region?
