The securities industry is highly complex, each transaction involves many processes and market participants: from trade allocation, confirmation, matching and settlement, to portfolio reconciliation, collateral management, asset servicing - and beyond, to reporting and trade repositories. Trades must be accurately executed, confirmed, cleared and settled in a timely manner across time zones and jurisdictions via multiple communication channels and technology platforms in a cost-effective and compliant way.

In this changing market, broker/dealers, hedge fund managers, investment managers, prime brokers, custodians, markets infrastructures, and intermediaries, all face common challenges. SWIFT has been supporting the securities community since 1987 with standards, solutions and post-trade processing services - connecting over 6,000 global market participants. You will find here a selection of courses suited to this important sector, but SWIFT Services can help further tailor our training and services to solve your particular business challenge.

ISO 15022 Enhanced for T2S

In the coming years, the majority of European CSDs will outsource their settlement activity to a new technical IT platform called TARGET2-Securities (T2S). The customers of those CSDs can connect directly to T2S (they are ‘Directly Connected Parties’ or ‘DCPs’). However, most of the CSD customers will connect indirectly to T2S. They will do so via their CSD or another DCP and will therefore be called ‘Indirectly Connected Parties’ or ‘ICPs’. Whereas DCPs will be using ISO 20022 messages for securities settlement and management, ICPs can (continue to) use the existing ISO 15022 messages.

Are you aware that these ISO 15022 messages have been enhanced to make them compatible with the T2S business processes and data allowing ICPs to take full benefit of T2S functionality and services? For DCPs, using ISO 15022 with their ICPs is a means to operate efficiently in T2S and upgrade their offering. This training course provides both ICPs and DCPs with an understanding of those enhancements. You will learn about the new processes and flows based on end-to-end case scenarios where T2S specificities and implementation attention points will be flagged.

AudienceThis course is designed for business analysts, IT staff, operations supervisors and managers from financial institutions (global and local custodians, CCPs, etc.) in their role as ICP or DCP (connecting to T2S on behalf of ICPs; this includes CSDs).

Prior knowledgeIt is recommended to have prior knowledge on ISO 15022 and T2S basics which can be acquired through the course ‘T2S in 90 minutes’. Course content— Introduction to T2S (operating model, features and

access models)

— ISO 15022 versus ISO 20022 (Reverse engineering, alignment and coexistence, standards release and maintenance process, market practice, etc.)

— Several end-to-end case scenarios (OTC/non-OTC) describing the T2S securities settlement and management business processes (including view on cash side of T2S). They show the ISO 15022 message flows and message content with focus on enhancements and implementation attention points in the context of T2S (where relevant mapping with ISO 20022 will be highlighted). The case scenarios include following processes:

— Settlement transaction basic lifecycle (Matching principles and fields, identification of parties and accounts and usage of different types of references in the settlement chain, business validation process, queries and reports, etc.)

— Maintenance lifecycle (Allegements, unilateral and bilateral cancellation, hold and release, prioritisation, linking, partial settlement, queries and reports, etc.)

— Restriction lifecycle (Intra-Position Management, restriction types including blocking, reservation, earmarking, etc.)
