Realignment Guide – Denmark
The links between Clearstream Banking’s platforms, CASCADE and Creation, and several Central Securities Depositories (CSDs) enable clients to transfer eligible securities1 from one platform to the other, for example, from Collective Safe Custody (CSC) to Non-Collective Safe Custody (NCSC) and vice versa. These transfers, which exclude by definition any change of beneficial ownership, are referred to in this document as Creation-CASCADE realignments.
The realignment process is initiated by clients as follows:
- For realignment from CASCADE to Creation:
- In CASCADE, by an instruction to deliver securities free of payment to the account of Clearstream Banking SA, Luxembourg with the corresponding depository, in favour of the client's account in Creation.
- In Creation, by an instruction to receive securities, free of payment, from CASCADE.
- For realignment from Creation to CASCADE:
- In Creation, by an instruction to deliver securities, free of payment, to the account of Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt with the corresponding CSD, in favour of the client’s account in CASCADE.
- In CASCADE, by an instruction to receive securities, free of payment, from Creation, if the receiving account is set up for “active” matching in CASCADE.
