As of January 2008, Clearstream is implementing new statistical reporting methods for assets under custody and the number of transactions processed.
The advantages of this new statistical reporting are a better correlation between the business figures and the company’s revenues, increased transparency, alignment with market practice as well as a faster delivery of the monthly reporting.
Under the new method, assets under custody of fixed income securities will be reported in nominal value. Previously, they were reported in market value.The reporting of all other securities’ assets under custody in market value will remain unchanged.
Settlement transaction reporting will be aligned with current billing practices and will use billable transactions to customers for international as well as domestic markets.
Previous years figures have been restated according to the new definitions.The restatement has no influence on the company’s revenues.The new statistical reporting will not have any effect on the way GSF is reported. Investment Fund services statistics are transaction driven and will therefore change.
