Capita Asset Services and Clearstream make cross-border transactions more secure and efficient for Exchange Traded Funds

Issuance of ETFs to be made easier by Capita Asset Services and Clearstream / New process enables intraday settlement/Reduced risk for cross-border transactions
January 7, 2014--Capita Asset Services and Clearstream - the post-trade services provider of Deutsche Börse Group-have joined forces to establish a more streamlined, efficient and more secure issuance process for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) on the German market. The partnership allows Capita, as registrar and asset managing services business, to open an issuance account with Clearstream and directly mark balances up or down in Clearstream's books, as required.

This will go hand in hand with improved reconciliation procedures applied between the German central securities depository (CSD) Clearstream Banking AG, and Capita, as fund registrar, to enable more secure and efficient cross-border transactions.

The new, more streamlined issuance model, set to go live in Q1 2014, will contribute to meeting market demand for more efficient issuance for ETFs in Europe. According to data from the World Federation of Exchanges, compared to USD 8.17 trillion in the Americas, the volume of ETF trades in Europe was lower at around USD 532.4 billion from January to the end of September 2013. Participants often cite the more fragmented exchange and settlement landscape in Europe as one of the reasons for the much lower global share of the market compared to the US.
