JSE Sets T+3 Go-Live Date

Date 25/02/2016

The JSE’s T+3 project, the financial market’s top priority project, will shorten the settlement cycle in the equities market from five days to three days and is on track for delivery on Monday, 11 July. The switch- over to a three-day settlement cycle will align South Africa’s capital markets with global best practice and will help in the mitigation of both systemic and settlement risk. The move to T+3 has numerous benefits to the market, including attracting foreign investors by harmonising settlement with international standards and boosting liquidity, as assets will be released from the settlement process more quickly. This multi-year project has been driven by the JSE and has involved extensive contributions from a host of market participants and support from the Financial Services Board.

Date 25/02/2016

OCC and the U.S. Securities Markets Coalition submitted a letter to the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service addressing certain issues raised for listed options by the final section 871(m) regulations issued on September 18, 2015. In the letter, the Coalition acknowledges the tremendous effort that went into crafting the final regulations, but recommends certain clarifications and improvements to them as they apply to listed options to help lessen the compliance burdens imposed on broker-dealers. The letter includes a recommendation that the regulations permit the deltas of listed options to be determined based on the prior day’s closing prices and permit broker-dealers and other parties to use end-of-day deltas generated by OCC.
