6 ALERT for Guide to GC Direct Onboarding 1. GC DIRECT WORKFLOW This document focuses on GC Direct information, the onboarding steps required to implement GC Direct, and the SSI monitoring process for trustees. Overview The 2015 Global Custodian workflow ("GC Direct") release enabled automated exchange of Standing Settlement Instructions (SSIs) between a Custodian s central repository and the ALERT platform application using ISO compliant messages. This functionality enhanced custodian/prime broker access (GC Direct), enabling the global custodian/prime broker to become the owner and maintainer of the SSI data by creating the golden copy on the ALERT platform. The 2017 trustee workflow release enables investment managers and trustees to jointly leverage the GC Direct workflow. This access allows for trustees to maintain an electronic signature of account approval and the assignment of SSI data ownership. By adopting this new model, investment managers and trustees place the responsibility of SSI maintenance and distribution with the global custodian/prime broker. This model brings greater automation and efficiency to the process and reduces the operational burden. Key Benefits The key benefits of GC Direct are: Improved Data Quality: SSIs are sent from the data source the custodian/prime broker. Validated Settlement Instructions: Market rules and validations are enforced by the ALERT platform, which reduces the risk of passing inaccurate or incomplete instructions to clients. Simplified Client Onboarding: At account opening, clients request settlement instructions through the ALERT platform, and the custodian/prime broker sends the instructions to the ALERT platform. This solution greatly reduces the manual intervention required to provide instructions to clients. Reduced Manual Effort, Lowered Operational Costs, and Added Security: Automating the manual process of sending SSIs by not only saves all parties time, but also lowers their operational costs and improves security by providing an auditable trail. New SSI Message Standard: Prior to GC Direct no accepted messaging standard existed that could support all SSIs. This initiative sets the standard. GC Direct Workflow 6

ONBOARDING ACCESS CODES TO GC DIRECT Investment Manager/ Responsibilities DTCC recommends that global custodians, trustees and investment managers simulate a GC Direct onboarding in the ALERT platform Client Test environment prior to onboarding in Production An investment manager should: Obtain user interface access the ALERT platform Client Test environment ( Participate in completing a GC DIRECT test plan Understand the concepts and tools described in this document Have expertise in SMPG and ALERT platform best practices Work with trustees on Service Level Agreements Support Production conversion and SSI monitoring responsibilities A trustee should: Obtain user interface access the ALERT platform Client Test environment ( Participate in completing a GC DIRECT test plan Understand the concepts and tools described in this document Have expertise in SMPG and ALERT platform best practices Work with Investment Managers and Custodians on Service Level Agreements Support Production conversion and SSI monitoring responsibilities Data Search Functionality The ALERT platform offers a web-based tool to export ALERT data to Excel (.xlsx) format. The exported files allow investment managers and trustees to reconcile their SSI instructions by comparing pre- and postconversion data values. Settlement Instruction (SI) Controller The SI Controller is the owner acronym for an access code s settlement instructions. The SI Controller acronym can be a(n): IM Web acronym (with or without a Model Name) GC Web acronym (with a Model Name) GC Direct acronym (with an GC) Link a GC Direct Acronym in the SI Controller Field After an investment manager assigns a trustee to an account, only the trustee can attach the SI controller; the investment manager does not have access to assign the SI controller. Once a GC Direct acronym is assigned to an access code, the ALERT platform deletes all existing settlement instructions from the access code. The GC Direct Acronym becomes the owner and maintainer of ALERT platform SSI data on behalf of their clients. When the global custodian submits SSI data to the ALERT platform, neither the investment manager nor the trustee can edit data designated as settlement related. Non-editable fields include: DTC Settlement: Agent Bank and INST/Broker ID fields are owned by the GC. Local market IDs: GCD owns all Local Market ID fields (except CLS). Onboarding Access Codes to GC Direct 7

8 ALERT for Guide to GC Direct Onboarding Agent Name and Addresses: If the GCD provides an Agent BIC Code within the SSI, The ALERT platform ignores Agent Name and Address for settlement purposes. Therefore, the investment manager cannot append this information to the settlement instruction.

Unlinking a GC Direct Acronym is only allowed by a trustee for trustee accounts. Investment managers cannot unlink a trustee account from GC Direct acronym. 2. The ALERT platform deletes all existing GCD settlement instructions from the access code once a GC Direct acronym is removed from the SI Controller field. 3. The GC Direct acronym no longer has control of any SSIs for the access code. 4. The trustee can attach a new SI Controller (IM Web, GC Web, or another GC Direct acronym). Currently, a trustee can attach only another GCD acronym. Unlinking a Acronym in the SI Controller Field 1.

12 ALERT for Guide to GC Direct Onboarding Security Types We recommend that GC Direct Acronyms maintain a minimum of three basic security types for each market: Equity (EQU) Fixed Income (COB) Government Bonds (TRY). Check with your custodian to see if other security types, such as Money Market (MMT), are supported. Cash (CSH) and Foreign Exchange (F/X) Check with your custodian to see if Cash Settlement Instructions will be supported by GC Direct. If they are not, the investment managers must continue to manage cash instructions using Account Specific Settlement Instructions. CSH Security Type: Recommended for straight cash payments SSIs or SSIs to cover derivative transactions F/X Security Type: Recommended for foreign exchange related SSIs Preferred ALERT platform Method = CASH The exceptions are: o US foreign exchange Federal Reserve payments. In this case, FEDWIRE is the preferred ALERT platform method type. o F/X settling through the Continuous Link System. In this case, CLS is the preferred ALERT platform method type. New Markets If an investment manager opens a new market post-conversion to GC Direct, and for some reason the global custodian cannot submit instructions electronically in a timely manner, the investment manager needs to create the SSIs using the ALERT platform's web interface. Future Effective Date Global custodians can supply a future effective (FE) date on GC Direct SSIs. The future effective SSI is visible on the ALERT platform's web interface to the investment manager, but not to the brokers who have access to the account (until midnight EST of the effective date). We recommend that custodians use an asof Settlement Date when populating future effective SSIs on the ALERT platform. Alerts: Discarding and Merging Alerts are generated to notify a party of relevant information. They are available for seven days before they are automatically discarded. This functionality was extended to support GC Direct activity. An account alert is generated to an investment manager when a GC Direct Acronym creates, edits, or deletes an SSI that impacts an investment manager's access code. These alerts are visible on the Alerts tab on the ALERT platform's web interface. The alert merging function consolidates multiple changes for the same SSI. When alerts are triggered for the same SSI (country-security-method), the alerts may merge or be discarded, with only the relevant one displayed. To effectively utilize alerting for GC Direct conversion, you must view and discard alerts on a daily basis. Merging Examples 1. A NEW: DTC Alert followed by a CHG: DTC Alert will discard the second (change) Alert and keep only the NEW:DTC Alert. Onboarding Access Codes to GC Direct 12

15 4. ONBOARDING STEPS Step 1: Create a Pre-Onboarding Extract Since SSIs are deleted when a trustee initiates the conversion to GC Direct, investment managers and/or trustees should create a backup SSI file prior to Onboarding. This step is only recommended if the Account code has previously been managed on the ALERT platform. Uses for the backup file include: Pre- to post-conversion reconciliation Complete or partial rollback of SI Controller changes Investment Manager Upload of markets not supported by the GC Direct acronym such as cash instructions How to Create a Pre-Onboarding Extract The steps in Table 4.1 describe how to create an export file with Settlement Instruction data from the ALERT platform. Table 4.1 Creating an Export File with ALALERTERT Settlement Instruction Data Actor Action Expected Results by IM IM/trustee IM/trustee IM/trustee IM/trustee IM/trustee Navigate to theutilities tab and selects Data Search Account SI Data from the menu Verify that the investment manager a Acronym is present in the Settlement Instruction Controller field and click Search.
