IFS: CSDR charges for manual booking
In order to comply with the Central Securities Depositories Regulations (CSDR), Clearstream Banking1 continues to apply necessary measures to prevent reconciliation breaks from occurring and takes action to resolve them when they happen. A new fee related to such action taken will be introduced.
Transfer in
A reconciliation break may result from transfer in of investment funds that are confirmed by the transfer agent but not yet instructed by the client (receipt of shares).
In that case, Clearstream Banking will advise the client that a transfer has been processed into their CBL account on the Transfer Agent’s register. Clients (transferee) should place the receipt of shares settlement instruction within five business days.
Impact on clients
If the client has not solved the break within five business days, Clearstream Banking will take action to comply with its obligations of reconciliation in accordance with CSDR and will take immediate action to instruct the settlement instruction of behalf of the client.
This manual effort will be charged to clients as per the Clearstream Banking Fee Schedule (CB08015100510 – Input of a client instruction).
Note: Deliver free instructions placed on behalf of clients in the event of a cancellation will not be charged.
Further information
For full details on CSDR, clients should refer to CSDR client readiness information on the website.
