Definitions
- This invention relates generally to cross border trading of securities, and more particularly to an international Internet based secure virtual exchange and distributed relational database for cross border trading.
- Figure 1 illustrates trade processing today.
- the asset manager gives instructions to its broker dealer; they match, confirm, and affirm the details of trades (steps 101, 111, 151, 152, 171, and 181).
- the broker dealer attaches customer specific information to the trade data (e.g. global custodian identity, method and timing of payment, currency), and forwards the information to the global custodian in the form of an execution file (steps 112 and 182).
- the global custodian attaches its own "standing instructions” and communicates with the appropriate subcustodians in the countries where the securities are held, sending information about expected date of payment and currency (e.g. steps 113 and 183), and eventually obtaining from them information about the completion of the trade execution and settlement (steps 103 and 173).
- the asset manager or the broker dealer do not receive information from its source, the subcustodian, but rather as it is rekeyed, reorganized, and forwarded to them from the global custodian (steps 101,
- the global custodian has to reconcile its data continuously with each of the subcustodians during this process, and must continuously adapt and reformat the data to offer the client (asset manager or broker dealer) integrated reports on its entire portfolio, containing information that is distributed across several subcustodians. If the trade fails, the process is several times more complex, because there is no automatic way to trace the source of the problem. A failed trade can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in time, communications, as well as in the borrowing of securities when necessary.
- the role of the global custodian is to organize the network of subcustodians offering a one-stop shop for the investor and the broker dealer, providing a unified format for information on transfer of ownership and a range of portfolio related services to the institutional investors who are their clients.
- a list of the main global custodians in the US and their market shares is provided below.
- the total value custodized in the US is approximately $40 trillion yearly, as shown in Table 1 below, of which about 30-40% are cross border securities. These figures represent the assets held; through trading these assets have a 75% turnover yearly.
- the fees associated with global custody can be an important part of a bank's revenues: in the case of Chase, which has about 20% of the global custodial market, it is reported that custody related services amount to a significant part of its revenues.
- Chase reportedly spends about $1.2 billion yearly in its global custody operations. It custodizes about $5.7 trillion in assets, of which 30-40% are cross border.
- Chase is the global leader in cross border custody. It is estimated that global custodians spend about $26 on each trade, although this number can be higher by an order of magnitude in the case of exceptions.
- Yet global custody fees are rather small, around 10 basis points (0.01%>) of the value held yearly, and represent a 'loss leader' for other associated services, such as the borrowing and lending of securities that are linked to custodial operations.
- the pricing strategy is complex. Global fees for lending securities vary, on average representing 15-20 basis points. In so-called 'specials', such fees can be 200-300 basis points (2-3%) of the value borrowed or even higher. Borrowing is naturally associated with cross border trading. When a trade fails, the traders borrow to make good on the failed transaction and this borrowing can cost an order of magnitude more than the custodial fees.
- a global custodian receives the details of the trade execution (in the format of an execution file requiring at least steps 101, 111, 171, 181, 151, 152, 112, and 182 in Fig. 1) and settlement from their subcustodian banks (requiring at least steps 103, 154, and 173, Fig. 1) and passes on this information to the asset managers and broker dealers in a standardized format (steps 101, 102, 171, 172,
- a major global custodian has a large network of subcustodians around the world that are unrelated to the global custodian itself.
- a partial list of the major subcustodians is given below:
- the subcustodians In addition to their role in settlements, the subcustodians also keep track of post trade portfolio events such as corporate actions (dividends, splits, tenders, and rights issues), as well as taxes and other local obligations which are country specific, and which are essential to manage a portfolio.
- the global custodian lends the stocks held by the subcustodian on behalf of their clients, the institutional investors or broker dealers, creating another source of data exchange.
- SWIFT industry run network
- SWIFT does not provide the facilities to do so, since it is a point- to-point message service and does not provide a distributed relational database.
- SWIFT has no way to identify the various messages (e.g., payments and settlement instructions) that are associated with a single trade.
- SWIFT has two messages to communicate satisfactory settlement, 531 and 533, and one that is a notification of a discrepancy (MT534).
- MT534 a discrepancy
