4 The aim of the T+3 project T+3 Project Market Communication The primary aim of the T+3 project is to shorten the settlement cycle for equities from 5 to 3 days 4

5 The aim of the T+3 project T+3 Project Market Communication Prior to the crisis, many markets had already settled on T3 since The JSE s settlement cycle is notably out of step with global precedent (including emerging markets) CCPs / Exchanges Settlement Cycle Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) Israel, Kuwait Stock Exchange, Saudi Stock Exchange Eurex Eurex Clearing, HKEx Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Bulgarian Stock Exchange, Ljubljana Stock Exchange (Slovenia) LCH LCH Clearnet, DTCC The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, ASX Australian Stock Exchange, TSX Toronto Stock Exchange, BM&F Bovespa Brazil Stock Exchange, Mexico, Oman Stock Market (MSM), Nasdaq T+0 T+2 T+3 (moving to T+2) JSE T+5 According to Thomas Murray, fail rates for most exchanges are between 2 and 8 percent 5 Source: Stock Exchange websites, Chevreux/Credit Agricole Markets Trading Guide 2012; Thomas Murray Sept 2006

6 Project Rationale CONTEXT T+3 Project Market Communication The move to T+3 has been on the cards for many years and is now mandated by South Africa s Financial Services Board (FSB) Thomas Murray findings in 2006: South Africa should move to a T+3 settlement cycle even if it results in some failed trades. Global benchmarks would improve by moving to T+3 even if there are fails It is the only area where South Africa does not meet the FTSE requirements for an Advanced Emerging Market* FSB mandate November 2012 license renewal letter:...concerns were raised by the Licensing Committee regarding the continued delay in the implementation of the T+3 settlement cycle for equities as well as the perceived lack of prioritising the shortening of the settlement cycle. We request that the JSE do whatever is necessary to ensure the successful completion of this project. 6 Source: Extracted from Thomas Murray White Paper, October 2006; FSB license renewal letter Nov 2012

7 Project Rationale (cont.) CONTEXT T+3 Project Market Communication Why is a shorter settlement cycle relevant? 1. Exposure: Client-side transactions between buy-side and brokers represent significant uncollateralised, unguaranteed exposure 2. Capital The amount of this market risk depends on time and volatility and thus increases with longer settlement cycles CSDPs are starting to hold capital for exposures. Longer cycles mean more capital 3. Systemic Risk Systemic risk increases when the magnitude of outstanding transactions increases (risk is based on number of outstanding transactions and the concentration) 7 Source: BCG (Oct 2012)

8 Project Rationale (cont.) CONTEXT T+3 Project Market Communication What are the benefits of reducing the JSE s settlement cycle? Align to global best practice comply with the FSB mandate Harmonisation across international markets Increased liquidity faster reinvestment of assets that are released from the settlement process quicker Margin will be called earlier in the cycle Reducing the number of outstanding unsettled trades will: reduce settlement exposure / credit risk reduce systemic risk improve efficiencies by causing participants to adapt and modify behaviours The FSB has mandated the JSE to move to T3 settlement cycle T3 is now a licensing requirement 8 Source: BCG (Oct 2012)

9 Project Impacts CONTEXT Does a shorter settlement cycle mean more failed trades? According to Omgeo (global standard for PTS efficiency): The world-wide shift towards shorter settlement cycles will increase the number of failed trades, unless post-trade operational practices are adapted to reduce the period between trade execution and settlement. The most important change required is that market participants should affirm trades on the day the trade is executed, enabling both timely and accurate settlement. Custodian banks and their clients cite inaccurate settlement and account instruction (SI) data as the most significant reason for failure, followed by the deliberate failure to settle by counterparties and mismatches between cash and securities cycles. The shorter settlement cycle does introduce the potential for failed trades, as less time is available for the resolution of any operational issues that may occur 9 Source: Omgeo (May 2012)

10 Project Impacts (cont.) CONTEXT T+3 Project Market Communication How will the JSE keep failed trades low? Plans to reduce fails: Further automation from trade execution to settlement this includes going to real-time trade confirmation on T part of the Phase 2 release Further automation across the market for Corporate Actions Removal of inefficiencies with regards to share removals between global and local markets this has been the cause of all of failed trades since the go-live of electronic settlement. This will be compounded when moving to T+3 as the local settlement cycle will mirror global markets Increase Securities Lending & Borrowing liquidity make more shares available for lending & borrowing to ensure settlement Preparing the market for the move to T+3 10 Behavioural change and efficient operations are vital to the process

67 External risks and Issues Risk Risk Description Mitigation Risk Factor External External unforeseen (black swan events) Unanticipated regulatory demand Perception that the global precedent is moving Unforeseen major events the length of the program, geo political, economic or JSE industry factors could change the landscape and affect T+3 viability and delivery Any unknown legislative or regulatory changes might dilute focus and compromise market commitment Global markets are moving to T+2, while South Africa is currently only implementing a T+3 cycle Monitor the external environment for changes Incorporate outcomes from stress testing and group economics analysis Accept residual risk in the event that a black swan happens. We may be forced to focus senior resources on the resolution of the black swan event instead of T+3 Continuous monitoring of legislative and regulatory developments and assessing impacts as and when they arise Deferring changes where possible if they impact the T+3 project Continue to reinforce the reason why agreement was reached on a target of T+3 with both the FSB and the market Ensure delivery to target timeline to avoid delays (and circumventing further pressure to move directly to T+2) 67

68 External risks and Issues Risk Risk Description Mitigation Risk Factor Market Competing industry initiatives dilute focus and compromise market commitment Market readiness / behavioral changes Offshore market readiness 68 The JSE s T+3 project is one of many concurrent industry initiatives. While the market has agreed to rank T+3 as the top priority industry initiative, they have warned that a delay in timelines will cause them to re-evaluate priorities and shift delivery focus to other projects. There is a concern that the market and participants may not be ready for T+3 (i.e. brokers and fund managers have current processes based on T+5 and may not be prepared for T+3 processes) which will compromise go-live. International investors that arbitrage trade in dual listed stocks on a T+2 cycle in the UK (and a T+5 cycle in SA) might not move shares between registers within the allocated time to meet the new settlement cycle requirements. Ongoing engagement with market participants to ensure commitment. High confidence planning to ensure on-time delivery User readiness activities include road shows, communication and educational documentation to be distributed to market participants. Meetings are frequently being held with various stakeholders from the market to confirm progress on their systems and readiness in line with their planned schedules. Extensive communication is underway to the market explaining the benefits of the move to T+3. Early and regular engagement with clients during the course of the project. Upfront consideration given to the technical impacts on clients. Extensive communication and education about the move to T+3. Work with transfer secretaries to identify and introduce more efficient processes for the removal of shares between markets. Increase liquidity for securities lending and borrowing.
