Brian,
I like your adjusted design, and I think that we are getting close to something that makes good sense.  Here are a few comments:

  • I notice that you have the optionBuyerPartyReference at the trade level and the payerPartyReference at the underlyer level.  Is this intentional?  I would have thought more appropriate to have a complete BuyerSeller.model and PayerReceiver.model?  Also, I was wondering if it would make sense to have the BuyerSeller.model and a choice between [BuyerSeller.model, PayerReceiver.model] at the underlyer level, to address the case where the underlyer is not expressed in a pay/receive mode, such as the reference entity.
  • We will get the trade date only if the generic gets integrated into the Trade construct (unless of course we create an adequate field), which is something that we should keep in mind as we integrate the generic as part of the portfolio reconciliation construct. (In our latest version, the genericProduct existed besides the trade, which I think was incorrect.)
  • I also would like to question again the riskType element (which I suggested some time ago), my usage experience of it being that it provides value only when the underlyer is not expressed.  Hence the risk of confusion in terms of usage (aside from the fact that it should at minimum be made optional).

 

I look forward to tomorrow's discussion.

I've updated the generic product as discussed last week.

Main changes included:
- add a couple of missing fields from the portrec spreadsheet
- removed a number of the option details fields (and the entire structure).

I've attached a diagram and the schema files (the main one to look at is fpml-generic-4-2.xsd).

Minutes

Review of Actions
1. Review of actions
>>> Action (OPEN): MG to document scenarios where lack of message
rejected/timeout for cash flow matching messages this is required.
>>> Action (OPEN): IY to propose a message or messages for responding to
a request or a notification, with the ability to:
- indicate that the message was received (but not necessarily processed)
- indicate that the message was processed successfully.
>>> Action: BL/MG to document that generic product is intended to be
used only for portfolio composition reporting and reconciliation (deferred to Generic Product discussion)
>>> Action (DONE): BL to identify the new fields that would be required
to meet the list in the spreadsheet for the portfolio reconciliation data standards (attached)
>>> Action (DONE): IY circulate the existing portfolio reconciliation
Documentation

2. Product types: disagreement on the fact that the Validation Working doesn't agree to include product type rules as validation rules. These rules should applicable to the FpML scheme. If it is not included, it can be published as separate document with links from the values description.

3. Generic product: GS uses a very skinny representation for complex products. Agreement that there are benefits on including this generic product. There is an open question on whether a more optional representation based on the confirmation view is better than a generic representation. Brian mentioned that from his experience, in some cases, the data is so poor that it is even hard to fill out the elements that you'd require for generic product. Agreement to include generic product for reconciliation. Need to update elements based on the analysis that Brian did.

AOB
Issues with choreography and fixing identities. We'll talk about it in the next meeting. People can continue discussions in the mailing list.

Actions
=======
MG Check with validation Working group on rationale for not including validation rules for product type scheme.
BL Update generic product representation.

Kind Regards,
-Marc
