Abstract: An interface that facilitates reporting, settlement, and financing charges for the fields of swaps (credit default, interest and other) and bond options. A system for aggregating, organizing, reporting and settling Over the Counter (“OTC”) derivative trades. Many clients refrain from trading Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”) due to the heavy documentation and disclosure requirements mandated by each counterparty: International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) and Trade Confirm. This solution applies a Prime Broker and give-up agreements. The backlog of unsigned confirms has allowed for electronic novations (assignments). A Prime Broker can stand in between their client and all their counterparties to lessen the documentation burdens.
