Two FIPS offerings are available.
Standard FIPS – provides details of all fixed income trades reported to CDS. This report excludes the identity of the parties to the trades.
Customized FIPS – provides details of all fixed income trades reported to CDS. This report also identifies where the subscribing customer is a party to a trade, but excludes other party identifiers in all other instances.
The following reporting details apply to both of the above FIPS offerings:
- One file is provided at the end of each trading day (around 9 p.m. ET).
- Trade ("par quantity") for all securities is capped at 2 million. Trade ("par quantity") for all securities over 2 million are reported as 2,000,001, and "accrued interest" reported as zero (0).
- Where a security trades only once in a given day, that trade will be reported in the FIPS report 14 calendar days after the date the transaction was reported to CDS. Securities that have multiple trades on a given day will be reported in FIPS on the day the transactions were reported to CDS.
- Single trades with par quantity exceeding 50 million that are split into multiples of 50 million when reported to CDS (due to a current CDS Clearing and Depository Inc. imposed limitation) are aggregated for reporting in FIPS, and par quantity reported as 2,000,001 as noted in item 2. above.
