MT 527 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.
77Standards Release Guide 2003 - Final edition - February 2003
MT 527SWIFTStandards - Category 5 Volume 2
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.
Triparty 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 543 Usage RulesThe message may also be used to:
re-send a message (be it an instruction, request for cancellation, or pre-advise) sent by the account owner to theaccount servicer (the sub-function of the message is DUPL)provide a third party with a copy of a message (be it an the instruction, request for cancellation, or pre-advise)being sent by the account owner for information (the sub-function of the message is COPY)re-send a third party a copy of a message (be it an instruction, request for cancellation, or pre-advise) being sentby the account owner for information (the sub-function of the message is CODU).
When the message is used as a request to cancel, the linkage sequence must contain the reference of the original instruction.Field 11A Currency in Trade Details sequence B provides an instruction to the account servicer to execute a forex dealon behalf of the account owner . The purpose of the forex deal is to repatriate proceeds at the completion of a transac-tion. This field is not to be used when standing instructions have been established. The use of forex instruction impliesthe following:
the currency received as proceeds from the sale of securities, eg, the currency to be sold, is the currency of the settlement amount. The currency to be bought is indicated by the qualifier FXIB, ’currency to be bought’. Ifproceeds are repatriated, this is in the base currency of the portfolio.the amount of currency to be sold is equal to the settlement amount of the transaction. This implies a bulk forexdeal must be instructed by other means.a forex deal to repatriate proceeds after the sale of securities should be executed for the soonest possible valuedate after settlement of the securities, as permitted by market convention.a bilateral agreement regarding the use of this field has been established.
