Subject: [fpmlwg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] FIX and FpML use for otc derivative
trading by buysides
I took an informal survey of how some buysides and dealers
are using FIX and FpML for trading interest rate swaps, credit default swaps
and plan to for otc options. The use of FIX or FpML for Allocation and
Confirmation is driven by whether these are considered Front Office or Middle
Office processes by the buyside firm. The breakdown of standards use is as
follows:
IOI, Advertisement -> FIX
RFQ -> FIX
Quote, MassQuote -> FIX
Orders -> FIX
Execution Reporting -> FIX (The FIX Execution Report would contain the
FpML for the derivative in the instrument component block)
Allocation -> FpML or FIX
Confirmation -> FpML or FIX (I think the FIX confirm should contain the
FpML)
Amendment -> FpML
Assignment/Novation -> FpML
Clearing -> FpML
Regards,
Robert
