Client data reporting

Different member mnemonics

• Turquoise Derivatives Member codes, used in BCS reporting, are established at the point that the new member is set up on the exchange
• LCH.Clearnet Member codes, used in LCH.Clearnet reporting, are established at the point that the new member is approved by LCH.Clearnet for clearing
• A mapping table is maintained to ensure the Turquoise Derivatives member codes are correctly linked to the LCH.Clearnet member codes

Settlement Process

• From the close of business on exercise/expiry date until settlement, all Turquoise Derivatives physically delivered underlyings become EquityClear contracts under the LCH.Clearnet Rules and Regulations.
• All Turquoise Derivatives Clearing members need to be an EquityClear member or use the services of an EquityClear GCM.
• The trades are margined the morning following exercise/expiry using Equity Risk Analysis (ERA) as currently used by the EquityClear service.
• Margin offsets and optional cross trade source netting are available on Turquoise Derivative Delivery positions.*

*Please note that due to the interoperability arrangements in place for Turquoise Derivatives Norwegian contracts, cross trade source netting is not currently available for these contracts.
