Market Practice Rules

  • Physical settlement:

    In case of physical receipt at local agent level, the receiving agent must receive a receipt free instruction for reconciliation purposes. If the final beneficiary of the securities uses a global custodian, the receipt free instruction will be sent to the global custodian that will forward it to his receiving agent on the market.

    For physical settlement, settlement condition indicator :22F::STCO//PHYS must be used.

  • Partial settlement:

    This market practice only applies in markets where partial settlement is allowed.

    If an account owner wants to specify in its original instruction that partial settlement is not allowed, they must use the settlement condition indicator :22F::STCO//NPAR (no partial settlement allowed). Similarly, if a client wants to specify in its original instruction that partial settlement is allowed (for instance, to override a standing instruction not to allow partial settlement), the settlement condition indicator :22F::STCO//PART is to be used.

  • Book Transfer:

    The use of settlement transaction types :22F::SETR//OWNI, OWNE, INSP and PORT and other book-transfer related fields is governed by a market practice document.

  • Block Trades:

    The parent transaction must be identified using the indicator field :22F::BLOC//BLPA. The children transactions must be identified using the indicator field :22F::BLOC//BLCH.

For more details, see the relevant market practice document on www.smpg.info.
