greater distribution capabilities are a key part of our strategy to attract more investors ,
said josé oriol bosch, bmv chief executive officer .
allowing mexican investors easier access into investment funds will improve liquidity and develop the local market. at the same time, this agreement will provide mexican fund managers and distributors with more tools to manage their portfolios. close to 600 funds in mexico will be supported by tried and trusted electronic messaging. as part of a phased approach with our partners euroclear, this new fund processing venture will capitalise on automation of fund orders through a single interface in the first quarter of next year, followed by integrated cash settlement .
valerie urbain, ceo, euroclear bank stated :
together with our grupo bmv partner, we are actively stripping away excess risk and cost by creating a one - stop - shop for all domestic investment fund needs. we are honoured to be chosen by this market to address real inhibitors to growth. there is no reason why investment fund processing should lag behind other asset classes when it comes to placing buy - or sell - orders through to final trade settlement. as of early next year, one simple electronic order from the distributor will automatically trigger the end - to - end, delivery - versus - payment settlement process, eliminating heavy cash reconciliation and generating significant savings .
in addition to its role as an international central securities depository (icsd), euroclear also acts as the central securities depository (csd) for belgian, dutch, finnish, french, irish, swedish and uk securities. a csd is a financial institution that holds securities, such as bonds and shares, and provides for safekeeping of these assets. a csd also allows for the settlement of securities transactions. a transaction is settled once the buyer’s account has been credited with the purchased shares and debited the agreed cash amount, and the seller’s account has been debited the shares and credited the sales amount. the credit and debit movements occur simultaneously through a process known as delivery versus payment (dvp) .
a clearing house is a financial institution that acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers of financial instrument. they take the opposite position of each side of a trade, acting as the buyer to the seller and the seller to the buyer. for example, if wendy and nathan enter into a transaction in which wendy agrees to sell 100 shares of amzn to nathan for $ 1, 180 per share, nathan will have to pay $ 1, 180 x 100 shares = $ 118, 000. the clearing house credits nathan’s account with 100 amzn shares and deposits $ 118, 000 to wendy’s account. clearing houses, thus, ensure that the financial markets operate smoothly and efficiently. one of the world’s largest clearing houses is euroclear .

buenos aires has sought to pay most of its creditors who joined its 2005 and 2010 debt restructurings, but has rejected the court' s order to pay the hedge funds which refused to join those restructurings, the so - called holdouts .

listing member
of the international stock exchange (tise), based in guernsey, a british crown dependency .
fiona le poidevin, the ceo of tise, confirmed the exchange has had conversations with solidum about how securities issued on its blockchain might someday be publicly listed .
i very much look forward to seeing how solidum' s venture develops ,
she told coindesk in an email .
solidum is currently in talks with the guernsey financial services commission to ensure the platform is compliant with tise requirements, which include paying an initial £10, 000 ($ 13, 000) fee and £6, 000 per year after that .
until then, though, the reinsurance contract itself remains with the original provider and the securitized notes purchased by the counterparties can be traded like any other security, until the notes are due in 2023 .
to jumpstart that trading, solidum partner and portfolio manager cedric edmonds said two funds are currently in the process of clearing regulatory requirements to join the group. once that process is complete and the first trades commence, edmonds expects those who have been unable to gain access to traditional platforms to be ilsblockchain' s early adopters .
while solidum is now out to make banks and settlement platforms less necessary, the project has its roots in a thwarted effort to do business the old - fashioned way .
the london stock exchange group' s crest settlement system — edmonds stumbled across multichain, an open - source protocol inspired by the bitcoin blockchain .
spun up a series of nodes to test how the shared ledger technology might be modified to
mirror what people do within the regular financial markets ,
he said .
the portfolio manager said that, while traditional middlemen collectively charge between $ 50, 000 and $ 100, 000 annually for the services, companies that want to issue securities through ilsblockchain would only need to pay $ 2, 500 .
solidum' s role here might resemble then a new, albeit more efficient, middleman. however, edmonds said his company is little more than a gatekeeper .
in its first issuance, solidum managed the blockchain nodes representing various roles, including playing the role of paying agent and blockchain sponsor, overseeing compliance with anti - money laundering and know - your - customer regulations .
we don' t have an overriding system that controls it. once we' ve created the nodes, given people access to the system, we can turn off our server and everyone can carry on quite happily .

basically, the question raised was: can a ba from the bank field deliver a good performance in a mission of construction such as for thomas & pierron? ‘escent says yes. in fact, the knowledge about a field can sometimes limit the creativity of the ba and compel him to drown in the executing part of his job. on the contrary, a ba with a strong method and trained with cutting - edge coaching sessions can develop the agility to deliver the best analysis he possibly can .
to conclude, a good ba doesn’t necessary know about the field of activity of his / her customer. a fresh look coupled with agility is the signature of best bas .
