BEST PRACTICES Introduction This document outlines best practices equity trade commission practices. How Commissions are Used in Omgeo CTM Executing broker/dealers typically charge a commission when an investment manager buys or sells an equity. Omgeo CTM represents a commission as a flat amount or percentage. Omgeo CTM investment managers and broker/dealers can submit and match on commission information. Omgeo CTM uses commission information in these ways: Matching Investment managers can establish a Level 2 (L2) matching profile to compare commission amounts to its broker/dealer counterparty s commission amount. Settlement Notification For investment managers who subscribe to Settlement Notification, Omgeo CTM maps the broker/dealer s commission information to the investment manager s SWIFT instruction (MT541 or MT543). Omgeo CTM forwards the MT54x to the custodian and interested parties. Third Party Notification For investment managers who subscribe to Enhanced Settlement Notification, Omgeo CTM sends copies of settlement instructions to interested parties. Directed Commissions Investment managers can inform broker/dealers that commissions for an allocation are soft, hard, or directed to a broker of credit. Net Commissions Investment managers can inform broker/dealers about whether commissions for an allocation are included, or in addition to, gross consideration on a block. Terms Table 1 describes terms used in this document. Table 1 Terms Omgeo Term auto-generated TradeLevel trade component TradeDetail TradeLevel Description As an option, Omgeo CTM creates a block (TradeLevel) for a trade side when you submit an allocation or confirmation/contract without submitting a block. Block-level clients set TradeLevelExpected to N. If a party submits additional allocations or confirmations/contracts, Omgeo CTM updates the information in the auto-generated TradeLevel. allocation, confirm, contract, or block allocation, confirm, or contract block Equity Trade Commissions: Best Practices 7

Best Practices The following fields in this document require controlled values found in the Common Reference Data, which is available on www.omgeo.com/documentation: CommissionReasonCode PartyRole CommissionSharingBasisIndicator PartyValue CommissionType For example, the CommissionSharingBasisIndicator field indicates how a commission amount is expressed numerically and allows only the following values: FLAT (per share) PERC (percent) PERU (amount) Note The term you in this document refers to broker/dealers and investment managers unless otherwise noted. Additional Documentation Table 2 lists documentation located on www.omgeo.com/documentation for more information about how to populate commission information for your Omgeo CTM interface. Table 2 Omgeo Documentation for Omgeo CTM Interfaces Omgeo CTM Interface/Area of Interest Direct XML Interface Trade Blotter Message Translation Interface (MTI) Financial Information exchange Interface (FIX) Documentation XML Message Specification: Debt/Equity and Common Messages Trade Blotter Reference: Broker/Dealers Trade Blotter Reference: Investment Managers Message Translation Interface Specification: Broker/Dealers Message Translation Interface Specification: Investment Managers FIX Interface Specification: Broker/Dealers FIX Interface Specification: Investment Managers Submitting Commissions in the Direct XML Interface The direct XML interface provides the following Commissions composite in the TradeDetail and TradeLevel. The composite enables you to submit commission values for allocations, contracts, blocks, or both. Commission information is optional. When you provide a value in the CommissionSharingBasisIndicator, Omgeo CTM requires the CommissionType and Amount. Omgeo Central Trade Manager June 10, 2013 8

Submitting Commissions in the Direct XML Interface Depending on the CommissionType, Omgeo CTM requires information in additional fields. TradeDetail Omgeo CTM allows up to four Commissions composites in a TradeDetail. TradeLevel Omgeo CTM allows up to four TradeCommissions composites in a TradeLevel. Note XML fields prefixed with Trade typically indicate that the field applies to a block. Commissions Fields This section describes the fields Omgeo CTM uses to construct commission information. Commission Sharing Basis Indicator The required CommissionSharingBasisIndicator field takes a Common Reference Data value that describes how Omgeo CTM calculates the commission type for a given trade component. Table 3 describes the allowed values. Table 3 Allowed CommissionSharingBasisIndicator Values Value Category Description Notes FLAT Flat currency amount For an allocation, contract, or block, commission is expressed in the traded currency and follows currency precision rules. If the CommissionType is TCOM, use FLAT in this field or Omgeo CTM generates error S14069. Auto-generated TradeLevels always insert FLAT in this field when CommissionType is TCOM. A CurrencyCode is required when FLAT is provided or Omgeo CTM generates error S14056. PERC PERU Percentage amount Per-unit amount Commission is a percent of the trade amount. To send basis points, set the CommissionSharingBasisIndicator to PERC and divide the Amount field by 100. Commission is an amount per share; that is the number of units of the trade currency, payable per share. Do not provide a CurrencyCode when PERC is provided in this field or Omgeo CTM generates error S14056. A CurrencyCode is required when PERU is provided or Omgeo CTM generates error S14056. Equity Trade Commissions: Best Practices 9

Best Practices Commission Type The required CommissionType field is a Common Reference Data value that describes the nature of the commission for a given trade component. Table 4 describes the allowed values. Table 4 Allowed CommissionType Values Value Category Description EXEC TradeDetail Executing broker/dealer s commission on a trade component when an investment manager buys or TradeLevel sells a security. Buy and sell-side clients trading equities use only EXEC as commission type. LOCO SPCN TCOM TradeDetail TradeLevel TradeDetail TradeLevel TradeDetail total TradeLevel total Local broker/dealer s commission on a trade component. Omgeo reserves this commission type for future use. Special concession commission on a trade component. This commission is the amount of a drawdown or other reduction from, or in addition to, the deal price. Omgeo reserves this commission type for future use. Total commission amount for the trade component. Each trade component can have its own TCOM. When Omgeo CTM receives one or more TradeDetail commission types and no total commission, it creates the total commission (TCOM) for that trade component. Each trade component can have its own TCOM. An investment manager sends commission information into Omgeo CTM on the block or allocation to match with the values on the broker/dealer s block or contract. When matching, Omgeo CTM only compares counterparties TCOM. It does not compare any other commission types. Example: Suppose an investment manager sends in CommissionType=SPCN and a FLAT amount of $5.00 USD. If the broker/dealer sends in CommissionType=EXEC and a FLAT amount $5.00 USD, the corresponding TCOM values created by Omgeo CTM match exactly. Suppose instead that the broker/dealer sent in a CommissionType=EXEC and a FLAT amount of $4.00 USD. If the investment manager s L2 matching profile for this type of trade has the matching tolerance EXCT (exact), the corresponding TCOM values mismatch. Commission Type Submission Rules. The following rules apply to CommissionType submissions for all Omgeo CTM clients: Submit up to four CommissionType values on a single trade component using this document: You can submit the same CommissionType value more than once (up to three instances). You can submit TCOM only once. Each trade component can have its own TCOM value. If you submit only TradeDetails, Omgeo CTM generates a TradeLevel and calculates TCOM on the block. It calculates the sum of the total commissions for the underlying trade components. If you submit three CommissionType values on a trade component, Omgeo CTM returns four types (TCOM is the fourth) on the InfoResponse and InfoSettlementResponse messages. Except for TCOM, any values you submit in the CommissionType field result in response messages that contain auto-generated TradeDetail and TradeLevel CommissionType (total) values. When you submit a TCOM CommissionType value or when Omgeo CTM generates TCOM, Omgeo CTM uses that value for Level 2 (L2) matching. A client-generated TCOM value does not have to equal the sum of each of the underlying trade components. Omgeo Central Trade Manager June 10, 2013 10

Submitting Commissions in the Direct XML Interface Amount The required commission Amount field uses a 17d syntax, which indicates: The field can have up to 16 digits and one comma. The mandatory comma represents the decimal for all currencies. Examples: 50,20 USD = $50.20 12345678912345,12 GBP = 12,345,678,912,345.12 30500250, JPY = 30,500,250 Commission Reason Code The optional CommissionReasonCode field is a Common Reference Data type that describes the reason for the commission. Table 5 describes each of the allowed values. Table 5 Allowed CommissionReasonCode Values Value Description Value Description ANAL Analysis PRIC Pricing Services CUST Custody RESE Reserved DIRE Directed RSRC Research EXEC Execution SODO Soft Dollar FUSA Fund Sales UNDE Underwriting NONE None Equity Trade Commissions: Best Practices 11

Best Practices Commission Calculation Based on Submission Type Omgeo CTM calculates commission amounts depending on how you submit trade components. Submitting a TradeDetail Only When you only submit a TradeDetail (TradeLevelExpected=N), Omgeo CTM generates a TradeLevel that both calculates and totals all TradeDetail commission amounts (Figure 1). Figure 1 Commission Generation When Submitting TradeDetails Only Omgeo Central Trade Manager June 10, 2013 12

Submitting Commissions in the Direct XML Interface Submitting a TradeDetail and TradeLevel When you submit one or more TradeDetails without a TCOM value, Omgeo CTM uses your detail types and values to calculate the total commissions for each TradeDetail. In this example, the client submits a TCOM value on the TradeLevel. Figure 2 illustrates this scenario using the same values in Figure 1. Figure 2 Commission Generation for Submitted TradeDetails and TradeLevel Equity Trade Commissions: Best Practices 13

Best Practices Submitting Commissions in Other Omgeo Interfaces This section provides the fields in each Omgeo CTM interface where investment managers and broker/dealers provide commission information. Note For information on submitting commissions in the direct XML interface, Submitting Commissions in the Direct XML Interface. Message Translation Interface The Message Translation Interface (MTI) is a file-based interface that allows broker/dealers and investment managers to send CSV format files to Omgeo CTM. Omgeo CTM accepts the files and then maps them to XML messages. Broker/Dealers Broker/dealers trade components to Omgeo CTM and receive an investment manager s allocations and final trade data from Omgeo CTM. Broker/dealers submit and receive commission information in the following fields: CommissionSharingBasisIndicator CommissionType CommissionAmount CommissionReasonCode Table 6 lists the transactions and records in which these fields occur. Table 6 Omgeo CTM MTI for Broker/Dealers Commission Information Transaction import_eb_block import_contract import_contract export_allocation export_match_agreed_trade Example: Record block_commissions contract_commissions allocation_commissions common_view_block_commissions common_view_contract_commissions block_commissions,flat,exec,100 Omgeo Central Trade Manager June 10, 2013 14

Submitting Commissions in Other Omgeo Interfaces Investment Managers Investment managers submit only TradeDetails to Omgeo CTM. Omgeo CTM generates a TradeLevel with commission information on their behalf (Table 7). Table 7 Omgeo CTM MTI for Investment Managers Commission Information File Field Format Description Outbound to Omgeo CTM New or Amended TradeDetail Inbound to Investment Manager Status File Examples: Outbound Record 1: 2=1234567890 15=USD 37=25 Total Allocation Commission (TCOM) (37) Total Block Commission (19) Outbound Record 2: 2=1234567890 15=USD 37=50 Numeric, positive value Numeric, positive value Inbound Record 3: 2=1234567890 15=USD 19=75 37=50 For each allocation in a block, provide a value in this field. If there is a value and the value is not 00.00 or.00, Omgeo CTM maps the commission. Sum of Total Allocation Commission (TCOM) (37) values that share the same MasterReference (2) value. FIX Interface The following examples show how Omgeo CTM requires commission information FIX messages for broker/dealers and investment managers using the FIX interface. The Commissions (12) tag specifies the TradeDetail total commission amount. Note Omgeo CTM requires the total commission breakdown in the NoMiscFees (136) repeating groups described in Table 8, Table 9, and Table 10. Broker/Dealers Submitting Blocks and Confirmations/Contracts Broker/dealers submit commissions/contracts on the Trade Capture Report (AE) for blocks and the Confirmation (AK) for contracts. Block Commissions. Table 8 describes how to broker/dealers construct block commissions in the Trade Capture Report (AE).

Omgeo CTM maps OTBC to the PartyType XML element. Commission beneficiary is ABN (ABN AMRO). Omgeo CTM maps ABN to the PartyValue XML element. Net Commissions Type of price (TypeOfPriceIndicator) indicates if commission is included as part of gross consideration on a block. Table 19 describes the Omgeo CTM fields and allowed values used for net commission. Table 19 TypeOfPriceIndicator XML Element (Net Commission) Code Description AVER Average Price Average price of instrument EXEC Executed Price Executed price of instrument NET1 Net Price Net of all charges, fees, and taxes Omgeo CTM Direct XML Interface Broker/dealers provide net commission in TradeLevel/TradeLevelInformation/TypeOfPriceIndicator XPath. Omgeo CTM Message Translation Interface (MTI) Broker/dealers provide net commission in the TypeOfPriceIndicator1 field in the trade_info record of the import_eb_block and import_contract transactions. Omgeo CTM FIX Interface Omgeo CTM automatically maps net commission from FIX to XML for fixed income trades. Settlement and Depository Notification Mapping Omgeo CTM provides a Settlement Notification subscription for investment managers to send commission, settlement instructions, and other trade information to their custodians and interested parties. Investment managers can also retrieve broker/dealer delivery instructions for their internal system to construct their own instructions. Mapping to Settlement Information Omgeo CTM allows investment managers to send settlement instructions to a custodian after the Match Agreed trade status in Omgeo CTM is either: MATCH AGREED (MAGR) CANCEL MATCH AGREED (CMAG) Note Enhanced Settlement Notification subscribers can send settlement instructions before MAGR status. See Mapping to Enhanced Settlement Notification for more information. Omgeo Central Trade Manager June 10, 2013 22

Settlement and Depository Notification Mapping When Omgeo builds a SWIFT message for an investment manager, Omgeo CTM does not map the total commission (TCOM) on a block or confirmation/contract to the SWIFT message. Broker/dealers who send only TCOM and no detail fees prevent an investment manager from sending complete detail commission information to the custodian. The following guidelines apply: If multiple instances of detail commission types are provided on a client message, Omgeo CTM does the following: Aggregates amounts with the same commission type Maps only one instance of the commission type to a SWIFT message Omgeo CTM only maps detail commission types provided on the confirmation/contract (TradeDetail) to a SWIFT message. Mapping to Enhanced Settlement Notification Enhanced Settlement Notification (also known as Third Party Notification) is an Omgeo CTM subscription option. This subscription option sends SWIFT or comma-separated value (CSV)-formatted messages to custodians and interested parties when the trade status is: MATCH AGREED (MAGR) CANCEL MATCH AGREED (CMAG) pre-magr (in some cases) Mapping to Canadian Depository for Securities Omgeo offers a real-time link between Omgeo CTM and the Canadian Depository clearing and settlement system (CDSX). When a trade reaches MATCH AGREED (MAGR), Omgeo CTM sends an MT543 to CDSX. In response to a successful receipt, CDSX sends an MT548 to Omgeo CTM, indicating acceptance or rejection of the trade. Omgeo CTM maps broker/dealer detail commissions (not TCOM) on a TradeDetail to the SWIFT instruction and forwards it to the Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS).
