NSD and BNY Mellon Join Forces
December 17, 2013--Russian-based investors and brokers will be able to issue and cancel depositary receipts (DRs) in Russian companies thanks to a ground-breaking agreement reported between the National Settlement Depository (NSD), Russia's central securities depository, and BNY Mellon.
The two companies say they have developed an innovative structure by which DRs, issued by BNY Mellon on shares of Russian companies, can be converted into a share or vice versa in Russia within one business day; this process currently takes between two and three business days. The structure will allow DRs to trade on the secondary market, settle and be used as collateral in repurchase agreements (repos) by Russian market participants in their own time zone.
