Non Members

This guidance is applicable to non-members clients, counterparties and their custodians who have unsettled on Exchange transactions with MF Global UK Limited (“MF Global”).

Transactions subject to Default rules

Transactions executed away from the Exchange's order books must be trade reported to the Exchange as in accordance with rules 3000 and 3010.  In the case of a MF Global trade with a non-member counterparty, MF Global would have therefore had to trade report that transaction to the Exchange.

If a non-member counterparty had a standing instruction with MF Global that it wanted all of its transactions to be subject to the rules, or that it gave similar instructions on a trade by trade basis, then it is likely that MF Global would have reported it to the Exchange.

Reconciliation

The Exchange’s ability to reconcile non-member unsettled market contracts relies heavily on submissions made by non-members to the Exchange identifying such transactions.

To assist in the reconciliation of any unsettled market contracts, non-members who believe they have unsettled on Exchange market contracts with MF Global are requested to complete the excel spreadsheet in the downloads below and return this to defaultofficial@londonstockexchange.com.
