OSTTRA and FIA’s DMIST Establish Post-trade Data Standards for Exchange-Traded Derivatives

OSTTRA, the global post-trade solutions company and a member of the FIA’s Derivatives Market Institute for Standards (DMIST), is working with DMIST members to identify a data standard for post-trade processing of exchange traded derivatives (ETD).

The application of a common data standard is required to increase data quality, create operational efficiency, and reduce systemic risk by minimising breaks on trade date. OSTTRA and DMIST have been working with key industry participants to identify the data set required throughout the ETD post-trade workflow, from voice trade recaps to clearing broker booking confirmations.
