T+3 Project

Market Communication

The aim of the T+3 project

The primary aim of the T+3

project is to shorten the

settlement cycle for equities from

5 to 3 days

The aim of the T+3 project

Prior to the crisis, many markets had already settled on T3 since 1995. The JSE’s settlement cycle is notably out of step with global precedent (including emerging markets)

CCPs / Exchanges Settlement Cycle

Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) Israel, Kuwait Stock Exchange, Saudi Stock Exchange

T+0

Eurex – Eurex Clearing, HKEx – Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Bulgarian Stock Exchange, Ljubljana Stock Exchange (Slovenia)

T+2

LCH – LCH Clearnet, DTCC – The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, ASX – Australian Stock Exchange, TSX – Toronto Stock Exchange, BM&F Bovespa – Brazil Stock Exchange, Mexico, Oman Stock Market (MSM), Nasdaq

T+3 (moving to T+2)

JSE T+5

According to Thomas Murray, fail rates for most exchanges are between 2 and 8 percent

T+3 Project

Market Communication

CONTEXT

Source: Extracted from Thomas Murray White Paper, October 2006; FSB license renewal letter Nov 2012

The move to T+3 has been on the cards for many years and is now mandated by South Africa’s Financial Services Board (FSB)

Thomas Murray findings in 2006:

South Africa should move to a T+3 settlement cycle even if it results in “some” failed trades. Global benchmarks would improve by moving to T+3 even if there are fails It is the only area where South Africa does not meet the FTSE requirements for an Advanced Emerging Market*

FSB mandate November 2012 license renewal letter:

‘ . . .concerns were raised by the Licensing Committee regarding the continued delay in the implementation of the T+3 settlement cycle for equities as well as the perceived lack of prioritising the shortening of the settlement cycle. We request that the JSE do whatever is necessary to ensure the successful completion of this project.’

Market Communication

CONTEXT

1. Exposure:

‘Client-side transactions between buy-side and brokers represent significant uncollateralised, unguaranteed exposure

The amount of this market risk depends on time and volatility and thus increases with longer settlement cycles’

2. Capital

CSDPs are starting to hold capital for exposures. Longer cycles mean more capital

3. Systemic Risk

Systemic risk increases when the magnitude of outstanding transactions increases (risk is based on number of outstanding transactions and the concentration)

Source: BCG (Oct 2012)

Why is a shorter settlement cycle relevant?

CONTEXT

• Align to global best practice – comply with the FSB mandate

• Harmonisation across international markets

• Increased liquidity – faster reinvestment of assets that are released from the settlement process quicker

• Margin will be called earlier in the cycle

• Reducing the number of outstanding unsettled trades will:

• reduce settlement exposure / credit risk

• reduce systemic risk

• improve efficiencies by causing participants to adapt and modify behaviours

The FSB has mandated the JSE to move to T3 settlement cycle – T3 is now a licensing requirement

What are the benefits of reducing the JSE’s settlement cycle?

CONTEXT

According to Omgeo (global standard for PTS efficiency):

“The world-wide shift towards shorter settlement cycles will increase the number of failed trades, unless post-trade operational practices are adapted to reduce the period between trade execution and settlement. The most important change required is that market participants should affirm trades on the day the trade is executed, enabling both timely and accurate settlement.”

Custodian banks and their clients cite inaccurate settlement and account instruction (SI) data as the most significant reason for failure, followed by the deliberate failure to settle by counterparties and mismatches between cash and securities cycles.

The shorter settlement cycle does introduce the potential for failed trades, as less time is available for the resolution of any operational issues that may occur

Source: Omgeo (May 2012)

Does a shorter settlement cycle mean more failed trades?

T+3 Project

Market Communication

CONTEXT

Plans to reduce fails:

• Further automation from trade execution to settlement – this includes going to real-time trade confirmation on T – part of the Phase 2 release

• Further automation across the market for Corporate Actions

• Removal of inefficiencies with regards to share removals between global and local markets – this has been the cause of all of failed trades since the go-live of electronic settlement. This will be compounded when moving to T+3 as the local settlement cycle will mirror global markets

• Increase Securities Lending & Borrowing liquidity – make more shares available for lending & borrowing to ensure settlement

• Preparing the market for the move to T+3

Behavioural change and efficient operations are vital to the process

How will the JSE keep failed trades low?

Margin under T+3

Under T+3 settlement the JSE will margin at EOD T+1 (collect on morning

of T+2 respectively) – 35 to 40% of trades will be margined – figures

depending on how market practice will adjust

Margin will be retained in the case of Fails Management and returned on

final settlement of the transaction:

Change in practice

JSE has moved to real-time systems – members may do allocations on a

real-time basis on T and commits to flow on T

Market practice will change – Investors will send instructions and CSDPs

will commit on T or T+1

Per JSE Rules and Directives – brokers can claim margin from clients

Fractions and spreadsheets

Raised in 2009

Recently approved at CSDP Forum

Investigating implementing before T+3 Phase III

Preferred option as previously agreed

VWAP on LDT+1 less 10% (for market movements) used for fraction payment;

JSE to announce rate so everyone uses same rate; and

Surplus shares sold by participant / broker to cover pay out.

Spreadsheets will remain for

IPO’s;

Excess Take Up; and

Dual listed companies where home Exchanges regulations prevail.

Freezing of registers

Dual Listed companies

Freeze registers once currency conversion is booked – aligned to JSEs Listing

Requirements

Securities can’t move between registers – creates settlement problems

Change – currency conversion on LDT-1 and announcement to the market

Migration assumptions

Limit amount of Corporate Actions (including IPO’s/private placements) if

possible

Move to a RD-3 LDT date – no LDT on Friday of conversion

Jobbing across settlement days – warn members about SLBs and funding

for a period of time

Resources will be available across the market for 2 weeks after go-live to

manage issues

Migration will not take place over a month-end

Migration will not take place over a futures close-out

External risks and Issues

Risk Risk Description Mitigation Risk Factor

External

External unforeseen (black swan events)

Unforeseen major events – the length of the program, geo political, economic or JSE industry factors – could change the landscape and affect T+3 viability and delivery

• Monitor the external environment for changes • Incorporate outcomes from stress testing and group

economics analysis • Accept residual risk in the event that a black swan

happens. We may be forced to focus senior resources on the resolution of the black swan event instead of T+3

Unanticipated regulatory demand

Any unknown legislative or regulatory changes might dilute focus and compromise market commitment

• Continuous monitoring of legislative and regulatory developments and assessing impacts as and when they arise

• Deferring changes where possible if they impact the T+3 project

Perception that the global precedent is moving

Global markets are moving to T+2, while South Africa is currently only implementing a T+3 cycle

• Continue to reinforce the reason why agreement was reached on a target of T+3 with both the FSB and the market

• Ensure delivery to target timeline to avoid delays (and circumventing further pressure to move directly to T+2)

External risks and Issues

Risk Risk Description Mitigation Risk Factor

Market

Competing industry initiatives dilute focus and compromise market commitment

The JSE’s T+3 project is one of many concurrent industry initiatives. While the market has agreed to rank T+3 as the top priority industry initiative, they have warned that a delay in timelines will cause them to re-evaluate priorities and shift delivery focus to other projects.

• Ongoing engagement with market participants to ensure commitment. • High confidence planning to ensure on-time delivery

Market readiness / behavioral changes

There is a concern that the market and participants may not be ready for T+3 (i.e. brokers and fund managers have current processes based on T+5 and may not be prepared for T+3 processes) which will compromise go-live.

• User readiness activities include road shows, communication and educational documentation to be distributed to market participants. • Meetings are frequently being held with various stakeholders from the market to confirm progress on their systems and readiness in line with their planned schedules. • Extensive communication is underway to the market explaining the benefits of the move to T+3. • Early and regular engagement with clients during the course of the project. • Upfront consideration given to the technical impacts on clients.

Offshore market readiness

International investors that arbitrage trade in dual listed stocks on a T+2 cycle in the UK (and a T+5 cycle in SA) might not move shares between registers within the allocated time to meet the new settlement cycle requirements.

• Extensive communication and education about the move to T+3. • Work with transfer secretaries to identify and introduce more efficient processes for the removal of shares between markets. • Increase liquidity for securities lending and borrowing.
