Deutsche Börse

About

Deutsche Börse Group operates on-exchange markets for cash equities, exchange-traded products (ETPs) and numerous other products via several trading platforms. Cboe Clear Europe is pleased to offer clearing, settlement and risk management services for cash equity and ETF trades executed on the Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB, The Frankfurt Stock Exchange).

As Cboe Clear Europe clears the same segments on MTFs, Deutsche Börse trades can be netted with existing positions and not incur any additional settlement fees.

Cboe Clear Europe follows the same routing logic as today. Accordingly, instruments in Collective Safe Custody (CSC) will be settled via Clearstream Banking Frankfurt (CBF) and instruments in Non-Collective Safe Custody (NCSC) will be settled either via Clearstream Banking Frankfurt (CBF), if the instrument is labelled as NCSC-T (Non-Collective Safe Custody via T2S), and via Clearstream Banking Luxembourg (CBF(i)) otherwise. The settlement solution for Collective Safe Custody and Non-Collective Safe Custody classified instruments will be supported by Cboe Clear Europe through its direct link with Clearstream Banking Frankfurt and Clearstream Banking Frankfurt international.

Cboe Clear Europe maximises the operational and commercial benefits for trading and clearing participants as all trades cleared by Cboe Clear Europe are fully netted into one net settlement per ISIN per day. Cboe Clear Europe’s features includes:

• Preferred CCP clearing model
• Cross platform netting will deliver substantial settlement savings
• Trades will be incorporated in Cboe Clear Europe’s existing reporting
• Existing margin methodology may reduce margin requirements significantly

Deutsche Börse reporting

Deutsche Börse informs its participants about the status of an order in two phases, 1) a non-legally binding execution report is created for each matching step, and 2) a legally binding trade report confirming the execution of the complete order. This information is communicated through the T7 FIX or the Enhanced Trading Interface (ETI) protocol.

The legally binding messages (ETI Trade Notification and FIX Trade Capture Report) contain details about the CCP and allow participants to define which CCP will clear the order under the "Preferred CCP" model. Cboe Clear Europe’s details are reported as follows:

ETI (Trade Notification)

FIX (Trade Capture Report)

Cboe Clear Europe Reporting

The Xetra© trades will appear in Cboe Clear Europe’s reporting under the relevant Market Identifier Code ‘XETR’ (TAG 58 in the FIX messages and TAG 8 in the Client Information File (CIF).

Reference Identification

In record 409 and 410 of the CIF Xetra© trades are uniquely identified by the following tags:

• Cboe Clear Europe Reference, combination of the Transaction Date (TAG 34) and Unsettled Reference (TAG 36).
• Deutsche Börse Reference, combination of the Transaction Date (TAG 34), Exchange Code Trade (TAG 8), External Transaction ID Exchange (TAG 25) and Symbole (TAG 9)

Collective Custody

The settlement solution for Collective Safe Custody and Non-Collective Safe Custody classified instruments will be supported by Cboe Clear Europe through its direct link with Clearstream Banking Frankfurt and Clearstream Banking Frankfurt International. The below table shows the settlement solution of the instruments with Collective Safe Custody and their currency (Euro/non-Euro). In general all Collective Safe Custody instruments are settled in CBF via T2S. As T2S currently does not support any currency apart from Euro, the non-Euro cash will be settled separately in CBFi.

In addition, the below table shows the Safekeeping ID of Cboe Clear Europe, where securities which settle in T2S have the Safekeeping ID "DE" and securities which settle in CBFi will have Safekeeping ID "DI". These IDs will be reported in the CIF file (add tag).

Note that for the different settlement solutions different settlement fees apply. For the Collective Safe Custody securities denominated in a non-euro currency, the settlement fees are based on the settlement costs charged by CBF and CBFi.
