RE: FpML-CD Add entityType for Single Name CDS



Title: Add entityType for Single Name CDS

Jamie,

 

Looking at the legal documentation, the entity type for FTD baskets has exactly the same role as the transaction type for the matrix or the MCA’s. It has been suggested in the legal groups that this should be standardized and that the FTD elections should be the same as the matrix transaction types. There seems to be agreement on the principle but it was never prioritized on the legal side.

 

By introducing entity type for single names ( and leaving the current differences aside given the intent to harmonize that at one point) you would duplicate the information already available in the transaction type. Why not use the transaction type instead?

CDWG,

Currently entityType is only available for Basket Swaps (see basketReferenceInformation->referencePool->referencePoolItem->referencePair).

We would now like to add entityType to the schema for single names as well.

The annotation for entityType is as follows:

"Defines the reference entity types corresponding to a list of types in the ISDA First to Default documentation."

From speaking to our documentation team they use this information to ensure the appropriate annexes (detailing applicable Credit Events, etc.) are added to the long form confirm for each reference entity type within the basket.

We would now like to add the same facility for single names.  This will be especially useful where the reference entity cannot be easily classified from the information currently available in the schema.

For consistency with current Basket Swap implementation, we propose that entityType should be added to the referenceInformation element that is within the generalTerms of the creditDefaultSwap schema.

Please see the attached diagram detailing the updated referenceInformation element and the modified schema:

Could we get together to discuss whether or not this modification to the schema can be formally adopted?
Many Thanks
Jamie
