2016 ANNUAL REPORT
MESSAGE FROM THE CEODear Stakeholder,
From where we stand, 2016 was a year unlike any other – both for the world and DTCC. It is hard to imagine that so much activity, and so much change, could be packed into only 366 days. The seeds of this transformation, first planted in the wake of the financial crisis nearly a decade ago, have now firmly taken root in the form of sweeping new regulations, an extended period of low interest rates, a greater focus on balance sheet and expense management and new fintech innovations – all of which are contributing to substantial financial performance pressure on our clients. How these dynamics, as well as the seismic geopolitical shifts occurring in the U.S. and Europe, will impact the global financial system remain uncertain. What is clear is that financial firms, DTCC included, will remain in a perpetual state of change for the foreseeable future.
During times like these, we must balance today’s needs with tomorrow’s expectations. In a year as unpredictable, volatile and challenging as 2016, we continued to provide the certainty and stability that the markets expect from us, but we also trained our eyes on the future so that we emerge from this period of change stronger and ready to seize new opportunities to support the industry.
As the centralized market infrastructure for the U.S. capital markets, we once again seamlessly cleared and settled an average of about 100 million transactions every business day last year to keep the financial system operating efficiently. Our deep experience managing market events and crises proved invaluable following the Brexit vote in June and the U.S. Presidential election in November. As you’ve come to expect from us, we did our very best work when the pressure was on. Thanks to months of careful planning and analysis, we handled the extreme volatility without incident – reinforcing the value of financial market utilities like DTCC to protect the integrity of the marketplace. Over the course of the year, our core processing engines handled more than $1.5 quadrillion in financial transactions.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
A SHARPER FOCUS YIELDS STRONG RESULTS
When we set our minds to a task, nothing can stop us – and that was evident in our efforts to continue improving upon our operating performance and bottom line results. In 2016, revenue increased to $1.71 billion from $1.6 billion, up 7% over the previous year, due largely to higher volumes resulting from market volatility. The up-tick in revenue, coupled with our renewed focus on operating efficiency, enabled us to absorb some non-recurring expenses while still improving our results. Our operating margin grew 106% to $177 million in 2016, up from $86 million in 2015, and our net income before preferred stock dividends nearly tripled to $127 million in 2016 from $43 million the prior year.
While we are an industry-owned and governed financial market utility, we run our businesses with a commercial mindset, identifying and pursuing new opportunities to diversify revenue sources that can drive organic growth while simultaneously keeping a close eye on costs. The nature of our business, particularly in clearing, settlement and matching, is such that market volumes will always be the key determinant of revenues. However, we try to mitigate some of this unpredictability through tight expense control. We believe this is the right approach to deliver maximum value to our clients.
We have a variety of levers at our disposal to achieve this, and we added a new one in 2016 that has delivered immediate results. “The 4 Disciplines of Execution®,” a framework developed by FranklinCovey Co., is used by some of the world’s largest and most successful corporations to improve execution amidst a whirlwind of competing priorities. For a firm like DTCC, which the industry has looked to for greater support since the financial crisis, this framework is helping us become more disciplined in our work and has empowered employees, regardless of level, role or title, to contribute to the success of our most important activities. We are excited to continue embedding this discipline within the organization and bringing added rigor to these efforts in the years to come.
REDUCED LEVERAGE AND SOLID CAPITAL POSITION
Following our $800 million capital raise in 2015, we further strengthened our balance sheet in 2016. We reduced our long-term debt and overall leverage by $94 million. At year-end, DTCC had $65 million of long-term debt outstanding, which is down 87% from the peak level of over $500 million in early 2014. We also improved the liquid capital resources in our clearing agency subsidiaries and parent company on the strength of improved financial performance.
Despite these positive developments, there are times when our stakeholders hold a different viewpoint than we do on certain matters. Such was the case in 2016 with the decision by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (S&P) to place the AA long-term issuer credit rating of DTCC, along with the AA+ long-term issuer credit ratings of our three subsidiaries designated as Systemically Important Financial Market Utilities (SIFMUs) - Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) and The Depository Trust Company (DTC) - on

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
CreditWatch with negative implications. S&P cited the lack of committed default liquidity resources at FICC as the main reason for this action.
S&P ultimately affirmed DTC’s and NSCC’s long-term issuer credit rating at AA+, acknowledging the companies’ credit strengths, liquidity resources, minimal leverage and strong capital positions. However, despite our efforts to help the agency better understand the robustness of FICC’s liquidity resources relative to its liquidity requirements, S&P chose to downgrade FICC from AA+ to AA and DTCC from AA to AA–. We continue to have discussions with them on this issue and are pleased with the progress we have made toward solidifying FICC’s access to committed default liquidity resources.
RISK MANAGEMENT REMAINS OUR TOP PRIORITY
In a dynamic market and evolving regulatory environment, nothing is more important than risk management, especially as the nature of risk has become more complex, interconnected and unpredictable. In response, we have broadened the types of issues we track and enhanced our capabilities and supporting technology to keep pace with this evolution. For example, we have made significant investments over the past several years to replatform our entire risk management system. As this initiative evolves, we plan to create an internal risk management database holding all trade, position and client information by SIFMU, which will enable us to analyze exposures across all of our SIFMUs and all asset classes holistically and
in near real time. We rolled out key features of the initiative this year, with additional elements expected to go live in 2017. For instance, we’ve implemented 15-minute processing, new portals, enhanced reporting, and liquidity and margin enhancements for NSCC and DTC and a risk data warehouse for DTC. Our goal is to use this technology not only for ourselves, but also to leverage it for our clients to help them better manage risk.
We also made progress this year on two new regulatory requirements issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The first requirement, Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity (Reg SCI), is designed to improve the technology infrastructure underpinning the U.S. marketplace. We staged two separate tests with member firms across our SIFMUs and Omgeo in 2016, identifying areas of strength and opportunities. We plan to continue this work by participating in an industry-wide test this year.
The second requirement, resulting from the SEC’s adoption of new standards for covered clearing agencies (CCAS), mandates that our SIFMUs must meet enhanced risk management and financial resource standards given their systemic importance by April 2017. We welcome the SEC’s adoption of the new standards, which will further strengthen the resiliency of the U.S. financial marketplace. Furthermore, finalizing CCAS represents a key milestone towards alignment with the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMIs) as well as international equivalence with other jurisdictions’ adoptions of the PFMIs. We are keenly focused on complying with CCAS by the deadline.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
We are also sharing our unique perspective on risk management with our stakeholders globally through the publication of white papers, by hosting conferences and roundtables, and by conducting our Systemic Risk Barometer, a bi-annual survey of risk professionals that tracks global risk trends and emerging threats.
In addition, we remain vigilant in protecting our network and systems against cyber-attack – among the most serious risks facing the industry today. Our employees play a leading role in this effort by helping to identify and report possible cyber threats. At the same time, we continue to enhance areas such as identity and access management, penetration testing and network segmentation to bolster our defenses and strengthen our resilience. We also work across the public and private sectors to promote collaboration and partnership, such as our participation in the Sheltered Harbor initiative and our membership in the Financial Systemic Analysis & Resilience Center (FSARC).

THE YEAR OF EXECUTION
During 2016, we continued to execute at very high levels across our different business segments as our global team rallied around our call to action to make this “The Year of Execution.” In our SIFMU businesses, we advanced several key initiatives and new innovations that will yield many benefits for our clients. The most significant of this work is the U.S. financial industry’s move to a T+2 settlement cycle for equities, corporate and municipal bonds and unit investment trust trades. Thanks to strong support from a diverse cross-section of stakeholders, including the T+2 Industry Steering Committee and related working groups, we completed
development work, client testing and readiness and are in the final stages of preparing for the September 5, 2017, implementation. This is a major achievement that will strengthen risk management and deliver significant cost savings to market participants over time.
Similarly, we are actively supporting innovation in the fixed income markets, advancing two priority initiatives this year – our Centrally Cleared Institutional TriParty Repo ServiceTM (CCITTM), which will reduce risk and costs in the bilateral repo market, and MBS Operational Novation, which is set to launch in 2017. In our Wealth Management Services group, we have been increasingly focused on developing solutions to help our clients comply with new U.S. regulatory mandates in the asset management and distribution markets, including the Department of Labor’s new fiduciary rule. Like so much of what we do, this work is rooted in our core belief that DTCC should continually pursue improvements in how markets function and enable efficient growth for our clients’ business.
This same commitment is reflected in the initiatives we have underway in many of our DTCC Solutions businesses, which are tackling issues that are impacting jurisdictions across the globe. For instance, with MiFID II expected to transform fixed income and commodities trading in the European markets and significantly impact both the buy- and sell-side, we are growing adoption of Omgeo Central Trade Manager (Omgeo CTM), Omgeo ALERT and the GMEI utility to support our clients. As the GMEI utility is the largest legal entity identifier (LEI) issuer as measured by share of total LEIs issued worldwide, we stand ready to meet any surge in demand for new registrations and renewals, which some have suggested could surpass one million new LEI codes.
DTCC-Euroclear GlobalCollateral Ltd., our joint venture company, is another opportunity for us to help the industry manage new regulatory requirements. In 2016, we went live with the Inventory Management Service (IMS) – a milestone that was applauded by market participants because it enables them, for the first time ever, to seamlessly utilize their DTC assets as collateral in other regions of the world without requiring them to move assets from their DTC accounts. We also completed development of the Margin Transit Utility’sTM (MTU) core service and plan to begin onboarding pilot firms in 2017, including several leading financial institutions.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
Likewise, our Global Trade Repository (GTR) business, which enables financial institutions to comply with derivatives trade reporting rules in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Canada expanded into several new markets and continues to support evolving global reporting requirements. In the future, we intend to create additional integration points between these two businesses, as well as Omgeo ALERT, to maximize the value of our derivatives solutions offerings.
In Asia-Pacific, Omgeo CTM and ALERT are playing a key role in facilitating Stock Connect trades, which have a unique and demanding T+0/T+1 settlement cycle. As future initiatives are launched, such as Shanghai-London Stock Connect, we will continue to expand our support, particularly as trading in RMB grows in response to Chinese firms increasing their regional and global footprint.
NARROWING OUR FOCUS
While 2016 was another strong year for us, it was not without challenges. As we continue to evolve the firm, we made the decision to sell several of our businesses to bring a crisper focus to our activities and better define the opportunities that we will pursue in the future. These actions also reflect how we have become even more rigorous in considering our investments and measuring the value they are providing to the industry as well as the return on investment they are generating for DTCC. This continual assessment ensures that our businesses fit within our long-term strategic framework and are aligned with our clients’ top priorities.
All of these factors led us to the decision to sell Clarient, Avox, Soltra and ProtoColl. While we are very proud of what each of these businesses achieved and the important role they play in supporting the industry, when we examined the broader landscape, our strategy and how we could most effectively help our clients, we determined that selling them to providers who offered complementary services would achieve two imperatives. First, it would create more holistic solutions that could benefit a wider segment of the market. Second, these moves would give us added financial flexibility by freeing up resources to redeploy either in our existing businesses or in new opportunities that can better position DTCC to address challenges in a more competitive environment.
EMBRACING DISRUPTION
2015 will long be remembered as the year that the financial industry discovered blockchain – an electronic ledger of transactions that quickly became the most hyped technological advancement in decades. While the rhetoric may have been overheated at times, the fact is that we are excited by this once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine the post-trade infrastructure to address long-standing operational challenges. Throughout much of 2015, we researched, explored and tested the platform while meeting with virtually all of the major technology players in this field. We then assembled an integrated team of subject matter experts from across the enterprise to define potential business applications and established an “Office of Blockchain Strategy and Research” to coordinate activities. We intend to be at the forefront of this issue by helping to spearhead industry experiments and use cases, serving as a leader in the governance of open source, fostering collaboration among market participants and by making strategic investments in partners that can help advance the technology.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DIVERSITY ENABLES SUCCESS
There are many ingredients that contribute to our success, but one of the most important is our long-standing commitment to Diversity & Inclusion. As we’ve expanded operations to 15 countries in all parts of the world, we’ve gained increased appreciation for the value of a diverse workplace. Our employees represent a powerful force in action – different perspectives shaped by their cultures, ethnicities, religions, orientations and experiences, each bringing their unique points of view to solve challenges. In 2016, we exceeded our overall goal for leadership diversity; surpassed our female hiring target in our Chennai, India office; launched a Emerging Talent Program for Black and Hispanic employees in the U.S.; and partnered with leading LGBT and religious diversity advocacy groups to create a
more inclusive work environment. Our continued progress in these areas is a source of pride for all of us at DTCC, and we pledge to continue making this a priority because diversity creates a stronger and more vibrant organization, one that can tackle and solve the increasingly complex challenges facing the industry.
DEFINING THE FUTURE
In a year of such transformative change, one of our most important corporate undertakings was refreshing our Vision and Mission and setting the foundation of our strategy for the next 3 to 5 years. Over the course of several months, the Strategic Planning Committee of the Board and the Management Committee undertook a comprehensive review of our technology and operations, business portfolio and service model as well as people and skills. As part of this work, we also examined the external trends impacting us and our clients, our competitive position, our ability to invest and the associated constraints and implications. And we debated the value proposition of an industry-owned utility.
The dialogue was often lively and spirited, and we benefited from the diverse perspectives of the group – each person sharing a unique point of view, a sharp insight or asking a challenging question. In the end, we emerged in strong agreement on the most essential and foundational characteristics of DTCC and a clear
understanding of where we want to see the firm in the future. This work informed and infused our new Vision and Mission.
• Our Vision is to be the undisputed leader in post-trade infrastructure through superior execution, risk management and innovation.
• Our Mission is to deliver the world’s most resilient, secure and efficient post-trade infrastructure for our clients.
11© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
The key themes that resonated with us were undisputed leader and world’s best. While we recognize this is an ambitious declaration, our Board members and senior management all agreed that these unique times demand a bold response from us.
A FIRST-MOVER ON FINTECH
A prime example of how we are bringing our Vision and Mission to life can be seen in the leadership we are providing on fintech issues, particularly the use of distributed ledgers. Over the past year, the overheated rhetoric that predicted our demise at the hands of this new technology has been quieted, and now many of the key blockchain players want to engage with us on initiatives. Our industry white paper on applying distributed ledgers to the post-trade infrastructure has become an authoritative source of information on the topic. Our financial investments in Digital Asset Holdings and the open source Hyperledger Project have put us in a position to shape the future of the technology. And our two proofs of concepts related to repo clearing and replatforming our Trade Information Warehouse have placed us at the forefront of innovation.
We are now bringing this same focus to leveraging other new technologies, such as cloud computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Make no mistake – we see fintech as a disruptive force. But we also see our role as bringing disruptive technology to our clients in the most beneficial and transformative way possible – and ensuring future applications are focused on protecting market safety and stability.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
The success of any organization largely rests with its leadership, employees and clients, and we are very fortunate in all three areas. Our Board of Directors, led by Bob Druskin, our non-Executive Chairman, is comprised of experienced leaders who share a fundamental belief in the value that an industry utility can provide to the marketplace. We are grateful for their wise counsel and guidance. Likewise, our senior management team embraces the unique nature of our role in the industry and is committed to building on our legacy. And, of course, our dedicated employees deserve credit for the successes highlighted in this year’s Annual Report and the countless others that we achieved last year. We also thank our regulators for their engagement and oversight and our clients for entrusting us to serve them and for sharing feedback so that we can constantly improve.
While each year writes its own story, we have every intention of shaping the narrative in 2017 and beyond. We will continue to set the bar high and strive for excellence. And when we look back on this moment many years from now, I am confident we will say that we made the most of our time, that we remained true to our heritage, that we made a difference and that we achieved our vision of being the undisputed leader in the post-trade infrastructure.

MESSAGE FROM THE NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
In looking back at what was a strong year operationally and financially for DTCC, we are pleased with the firm’s performance and especially proud of how the organization managed the impact of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union and the election of a new President in the United States. Smoothly handling events that have a significant market impact is central to DTCC’s mission and reinforces the critical role the firm plays in protecting the financial system.
This past year also saw DTCC continue its evolution into a more commercially oriented and client-focused organization. This transformation began in the wake of the 2008 crisis as a fundamental reshaping of the financial landscape reordered the industry’s priorities, establishing risk management, capital building, cost reduction and compliance as leading issues. DTCC has responded to these changes, but with the velocity of transformation increasing, the Board this year took stock of the global landscape, assessed the company’s progress in
meeting the growing demands of our stakeholders and analyzed opportunities for DTCC to make an even larger impact in the future. We concluded that a comprehensive review of the firm’s strategy was necessary to ensure continued alignment with industry needs, and we formed a Strategic Planning Committee of the Board to lead this work, partnering with management to jointly define a future state vision. Because the Board and management have a strong working relationship, it was not surprising that we shared similar thoughts on where we see DTCC in the next 3 to 5 years. As a result of this effort, we refreshed the firm’s Vision and Mission statements, articulating a set of strategies that will enable DTCC to compete and win in the future.
We challenged ourselves and management on tough questions – Is the horizontal model more or less relevant today than in the past? Are incumbents capable of going head-to-head against new entrants who may bring greater agility to address long-standing challenges? And how can these same incumbents embrace the fintech revolution to quickly deliver new solutions to the market? These are the type of macro issues we’ll need to continue addressing to ensure the firm is prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Today, many companies see DTCC, in its capacity as a market-owned-and-operated utility, as having the right combination of governance, people and experience to develop the types of innovative products and services that are needed to efficiently meet industry requirements. While the Board strongly supports the firm exploring opportunities to expand into new areas, we share management’s strong commitment to the core functions of clearance, settlement, asset servicing and risk

management. We are united in our belief that future initiatives should focus on areas that align closely with these capabilities.
Throughout the year, the Board continued to strengthen relationships with the global regulatory community and devoted considerable time to overseeing the firm’s compliance with all relevant laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We also took a strong interest in efforts around Recovery and Resolution planning, cyber security and enhancements to the firm’s risk management capabilities.
It is an honor to serve as Chairman and to work with an exceptional group of leaders. I want to extend my appreciation to two members who left the Board – Paul Compton and Terry Laughlin. Both Paul and Terry were outstanding partners who made many contributions to DTCC over the years. We also welcomed four new Board members in 2016 – Lester Owens, Lisa Pollina, Paul Simpson and Joseph Weinhoffer. We look forward to working with them to further advance DTCC’s role in the industry. We also lost one of our Board members, Derek Ross, in 2017. Derek was a man of great character, integrity and humility who was passionate about the firm and proud of his affiliation with it, serving DTCC for nearly a decade, first as a Board Member of EuroCCP and, since 2010, on the DTCC Board. He willingly shared his wisdom and experience with us and we are appreciative of his many contributions. He will be greatly missed.
We also appreciate the hard work and strong commitment of all our employees. They live the values of the firm, they drive the initiatives that protect the marketplace and, as a result, they make a difference every day.
Just as the events of 2016 were impossible to predict, 2017 and the years ahead will undoubtedly bring their own set of unanticipated issues, but the Board remains committed to collaborating with management to ensure that DTCC delivers outstanding results to all of our stakeholders.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DTCC continued to drive the U.S. financial industry’s preparations for the long-anticipated move to shorten the settlement cycle for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, and unit investment trust trades from T+3 to T+2. In 2016, we focused our energies on completing development work, client testing and readiness, and submitting rule changes to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure a smooth transition for firms on September 5, 2017. On the regulatory front, we joined with the T+2 Industry Steering Committee and working groups to submit letters of support to the SEC for its proposed T+2 rule amendment.
For the third year in a row, DTCC was honored by Waters Technology as the Best Sell-Side Clearing Provider in the magazine’s 14th annual awards – a widely recognized benchmark of success. “DTCC continues to focus on both its core competencies of improving data standardization and harmony, and branching out its services into new arenas,” the publication said. As the centralized infrastructure for the U.S. capital markets, we seamlessly processed $1.5 quadrillion in financial transactions in 2016, helping to protect the integrity of the financial system and provide stability and certainty during a year of heightened volatility.
DTCC responded to sweeping regulatory changes to the U.S. mutual funds industry resulting from the SEC’s Money Market Reform by launching several enhancements to its Mutual Fund Services to help the industry comply with new operational requirements. These upgrades, the byproduct of two years of intensive work in collaboration with clients and industry working groups, include new features in Fund/SERV®, Networking and Mutual Fund Profile Service that enable funds to communicate key money fund data, including liquidity fees, redemption gates and multiple daily net asset value (NAV) strikes.
RISK
43© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DTCC’s subsidiary operating the GMEITM utility, which recently received official accreditation from the Global Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), reaffirmed its position as the largest Local Operating Unit (LOU) in 2016 with more than 230,000 legal entity identifiers (LEIs) issued to entities from more than 184 jurisdictions since its launch in 2012. We continued to see steady growth of LEIs registered in 2016 and expect the pace of new registration to increase next year as MiFID II, a new regulatory initiative in Europe, is expected to be implemented in January 2018. In addition, a complete redesign of the GMEI utility web site last year created a more user-friendly experience and streamlined the registration and renewal process for clients.
DTCC-Euroclear GlobalCollateral Ltd. continued to build a global community in preparation for launching the Margin Transit UtilityTM (MTU) pilot program in early 2017. Several of the world’s largest fund administrators, brokers and asset managers have expressed support for the MTU in preparation for new financial rules that will require them to create thousands of new segregated collateral accounts, support hundreds of thousands of new margin calls and manage over a trillion dollars in additional collateral. Focus will remain on further growing client adoption and the on-boarding of brokers and buy-side firms in 2017.
The DTCC Global Trade Repository (GTR), through locally registered trade repositories, continued to build its community and geographical scope in 2016, adding trade repository services throughout Canada to now cover all provinces and territories in the country for OTC derivatives transactions, including rate, credit, equity, FX and commodity derivatives. As the world’s only truly global provider of trade repository services, we support the OTC derivatives regulatory reporting obligations of over 6,000 firms in 7 jurisdictions. In recognition of this outstanding work, GTR was recognized by Futures & Options World for the second consecutive year as the “Trade Repository of the Year.”

2016 ANNUAL REPORT
FICC’s Government Securities Division (GSD) continued to advance an innovative suite of new and enhanced services to expand the availability of central clearing to the bilateral repo market. GSD’s Centrally Cleared Institutional TriParty Repo ServiceTM (CCITTM) will allow eligible institutional cash lenders to join GSD as limited members to clear eligible tri-party transactions with existing GSD members, pending regulatory approval. GSD is also expanding its existing Sponsored Membership Program, which allows well-capitalized bank members to sponsor eligible clients into GSD membership. Client eligibility is currently limited to Registered Investment Companies (RICs). FICC will permit all Qualified Institutional Buyer clients of sponsoring banks to have their eligible activity novated to FICC, pending regulatory approval.
FICC completed development work on the MBS Operational Novation initiative in 2016, paving the way to launch the initiative in 2017, pending regulatory approval. With MBS Operational Novation, clients will face FICC as a single counterparty for all mortgage-backed securities transactions (with the exception of options), and these transactions will be novated upon being fully matched. FICC expects that this initiative will create efficiencies that will allow clients to eliminate a significant number of their Electronic Pool Notification (EPN) messages, resulting in fewer settlements at the clearing banks.
DTCC’s multi-year Corporate Actions Transformation enters its final phase in 2017 after deploying Redemptions life cycle functionality last year. This project is transforming how corporate actions are communicated to clients thanks to the transition to ISO 20022 messaging and a new web-based user interface, called “CA Web,” which has replaced countless files and legacy platforms that have evolved over the years. Among the benefits of this single platform are increased automation and ease of use for clients, which help reduce risk, enhance efficiencies and drive down their costs of corporate actions processing.
EFFICIENCY
45© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DTCC made it easier for fund administrators, financial advisors and broker-dealers to support fund set-up, valuation reporting and order processing with the launch of an updated web-based platform for its Alternative Investment Product (AIP) Services in 2016. By enabling alternatives trade processing over the web, the interface makes AIP immediately accessible and delivers greater scale and increased efficiencies to the marketplace. We also set two new records in AIP processing last year – activating more than 250 accounts and handling its 180 millionth transaction.
2016 marked the 30th anniversary of Fund/SERV, our inaugural offering for the mutual funds industry that transformed the sector and helped pave the way for its tremendous growth. By automating mutual fund trading, order confirmation, settlement, fund account registration and other critical back-office processes, Fund/SERV gave fund companies and distributors the tools they needed to streamline operations and eliminate mountains of paperwork and time-consuming manual processes. Today, we support more than 1,400 clients, processing 900,000 daily orders for the $16 trillion mutual fund industry.
2016 was a year of milestones for Omgeo ALERT®, processing more than 6.6 million standing settlement instructions (SSIs), achieving a 98.76% compliance level and going live with two global custodians on its Global Custodian Direct (GC Direct). In addition, ALERT now contains over 1 million FX and cash-based SSIs, up 13.5% in 2016. Three new enhancements were also launched last year – ALERT Automating SSIs Together (ASSIsT), Collateral SSIs via ALERT Web, and a third-party enrichment application interface (API) – which completed the functional requirements to establish a true SSI Utility.
46© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DTCC’s Omgeo Central Trade Manager® (Omgeo CTM), OASYS and TradeSuite ID® processed almost 1 billion trade details in 2016 – a 5% increase compared to 2015. Approximately 3,700 firms globally use these services, and an increasing number of them are leveraging Omgeo CTM to process equity swap and repo trades. Reduced pricing for Omgeo CTM and TradeSuite ID, along with a new, simplified rate card and billing transparency tool for TradeSuite ID, were introduced last year. These enabled clients to reduce costs and improve budgeting.
47© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
ClarientTM launched several new services in 2016 as client adoption surpassed 200 on the platform, which automates and centralizes client entity data and documents. The new Base Relationship Service enables banks, broker-dealers and institutional clients to maintain and exchange the legal entity data and documentation necessary to transact. In addition, the Public KYC (PKYC) Service was enhanced with 130,000+ validated KYC records – and the new PKYC Premium service went live.
Adoption of the Avox Managed Data Service continued to expand, taking the total managed record population to over 2 million unique entities. Real-time delivery of entity data through API, offering firms operational efficiencies, has been a major driver. Further Avox integration into Clarient Entity Hub last year enabled accelerated record creation for Clarient Public KYC clients.
Note: Thomson Reuters purchased Clarient and Avox from DTCC in March 2017.
VClarient: Named “Best Reference Data Newcomer” by Inside Reference Data and recognized as the “2016 Information Security Executive (ISE) Northeast Project Award” winner for outstanding achievements in risk management, data asset protection and network security.
Avox: Recognized as the Best Entity Management solution at the Data Management Review awards in London for the second consecutive year.
DTCC enhanced its data offerings in 2016, building out its suite of services to cover major asset classes, including equities, derivatives and fixed income. The new Liquidity Coverage Ratio Data Service helps firms manage their requirements for liquidity facilities and support commercial paper obligations in order to meet Basel III and other regulatory mandates. Another new product, Equity Data Service, facilitates performance analysis of U.S. equity trading, giving clients metrics to support better business decisions. Additional products that provide firms with access to a consolidated view of their own trading activities as well as aggregated and anonymized market data sourced from DTCC’s processing and data engines are expected to launch in 2017.
INNOVATION
48© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DTCC embraced the fintech revolution in 2016, earning global recognition for our work to integrate distributed ledger technology into the post-trade infrastructure. Our white paper Embracing Disruption emerged as an authoritative source of information while the Blockchain Symposium we hosted in New York brought together more than 500 industry leaders and policymakers to debate potential applications of the technology. In addition, we made a financial investment in Digital Asset Holdings, a blockchain company, and are a premier founding member of the Hyperledger Project, which has positioned us to help shape the future of the technology.
DTCC emerged as a leader in advancing the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) with our announcement to replatform our Trade Information Warehouse (TIW) for credit derivatives – one of the first and largest blockchain initiatives to date based on industry scale. The project is expected to streamline, automate and reduce the cost of derivatives processing across the industry and follows a successful proof-of-concept for North American single name Credit Default Swaps (CDS) that we completed in 2016. The new solution is expected to go live in early 2018. The TIW automates the record keeping, life cycle events, and payment management for more than $11 trillion of cleared and bilateral credit derivatives.
49© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
DTCC led a working group of more than 60 firms last year to develop Insurance Profile – a new solution that will enable clients to comply with disclosure mandates under the U.S. Department of Labor’s Fiduciary Rule. The service will provide carriers and distributors a centralized, automated repository to populate, retrieve and distribute fee, expense and commission schedule data at the product level. This will help streamline reporting and investor disclosures. Insurance Profile is expected to launch in April 2017. We also plan to introduce DOL-related enhancements to help support WMS’ Mutual Fund Services and Alternative Investment Product Services clients in 2017.
As populism swept across much of Europe and the U.S. in 2016, it produced unexpected results in the Brexit vote and the U.S. presidential election – producing market volatility that rivaled some of the most significant systemic events of the past decade. DTCC processed this spike in volume without incident due, in large part, to months of planning and preparation and by drawing on our deep experience managing market stress over the past four decades. In the wake of these elections, we continued to engage with policymakers and regulators globally, sharing insights on market stability and transparency to help shape legislative and regulatory policies at the global, national and regional levels.
DTCC continued to execute its multi-year Interconnectedness Risk initiative, which seeks to identify, monitor, and quantify the firm’s multiple interconnections across the global financial system. The goal of this effort is to build greater organizational resilience to protect against more frequent and unexpected systemic shocks. As part of this work, we also extended our stakeholder outreach to raise awareness of leading trends in systemic risk management. For example, our bond market liquidity discussion paper,
ENGAGEMENT:
50© 2016 DTCC
2016 ANNUAL REPORT
issued in November, used DTCC data to highlight potential risks facing the industry while our Systemic Risk Barometer survey, published in November, revealed that the threat of cyberattack remains the top concern of global risk managers. We shared this and other key market insights with policymakers in the U.S., Europe and Asia as part of our robust engagement strategy to foster market stability, promote increased transparency and build stronger relationships.
With cyber-attacks against the financial sector increasing, DTCC continued to rally support for building industry-wide resilience and expanding public-private partnerships last year. DTCC President and CEO Michael Bodson joined Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew and other Obama Administration officials, regulators and banking executives in Washington D.C. in 2016 to discuss a wide range of topics, including procedures for collaboration around cyber security incident response efforts and the growing number of new cyber regulations. During the meeting, Bodson reinforced the importance of regulatory coordination and cooperation and the benefits of a principles-based approach to rulemaking that enables firms to focus their full energies on building resilience and protecting against future attacks.
