DTCC's Fixed Income Division and DTCC Learning have launched a new series of podcasts for the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (MBS).
The Mortgage-Backed Securities Division operates two primary business units: Clearing services, which include trade comparison, confirmation, netting, and risk management, and Electronic Pool Notification (EPN) services, which allow customers to transmit/retrieve mortgage-backed securities pool information in real-time using standardized message formats.
MBSD CCP Pool Netting Substitution Update - August 13, 2009 (4:03)
[Excerpt] "On August 13, 2009, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation distributed important Notice # MBS.159.09. Designed to prepare members for their upcoming testing of Pool Netting, as well as to provide members with a more comprehensive understanding of how the new Pool Netting substitution service will work, this notice has been drafted to delineate the business flow and the processing rules governing the new EPN Pool Settlement Obligation Substitution service. EPN will be the only method available to submit substitutions of Pool Settlement Obligations; any clearing member that is currently not an EPN member must contact its DTCC Relationship Manager to apply for EPN membership."
