Straight through Processing
(STP)
What is STP?
Straight-through Processing (“STP”) is a mechanism that automates the
end-to-end processing of transactions of the financial instruments in a
manner where no physical activity is involvement during the progression of
a transaction. STP can be defined as electronically capturing and
processing of transactions in one pass, from the point of initiation of a deal
to the final settlement. STP is the name given to the automation of all
processes related to the trade lifecycle of financial securities, including
equities, fixed income, and derivatives.
10th ACG Cross Training Seminar
21
Advantages of STP
 STP ensures accuracy speed & secured connectivity at all
stages of the transactions using the efficient IT systems.
 STP enables the entire process for capital market and
payment transaction to be conducted electronically without
the need for re-keying or manual intervention.
 STP minimizes settlement risks as clearing & settlement
occurs simultaneously.
 STP also helps in reducing the systemic & operations risks
to improve certainty of settlement & reduces operations
costs.

STP of Ready Market (T+2)
In Pakistani capital market, STP is implemented to a great extent, however, there is still room
for further improvement. Step by step activities performed during progression of a trading
cycle is mention as under:
 Buyers and Sellers of the securities are required to transact through intermediaries i.e.
Stock Brokers or their authorized agents. Both buyers and sellers are required to open
Sub-Accounts with the Stock Broker or an Investor Account directly with the Central
Depository Company.
 Investors are also required to possess a Unique Identification Number (UIN) issued by the
Clearing Company before entering into stock trading. UIN is recorded at the time of
placing of order by the Stock Broker with the Stock Exchange which is passed on to the
Clearing Company.
 Orders can be placed either through online trading portal (provided by some of the
prominent brokerage houses) or through conventional mode of trading, e.g. via telephone
calls, personal visit, text messaging (using cell phones) or emails to the Stock Brokers or
their authorized agents.
 In case of online trading, orders placed by the clients are received and stored in the
online trading portal of the Stock Broker and directly transmitted to the automated trading
system of the Stock Exchange, hence, no manual intervention is required for execution of
trade orders.

26
STP of Ready Market (T+2)
 Once trade is executed, the online system automatically sends the confirmation to the
client, provided that the order was a ‘market price order’ where no limit of price was
quoted by the client. In case of a ‘limit order’, client is informed after trade is executed
upon matching price is fetched. In this case client has to contact the Broker/agent for a
confirmation. Most of the broker provides timely SMS facility to ensure execution of trade.
 All outstanding trades are settled through an automated Clearing Company where trade
feeds are automatically transmitted from the trading systems of Stock Exchanges to the
Clearing System of Clearing Company.
 Upon receipt of trade feeds, Clearing System prepares balance order after netting all
trades showing net delivery obligation of the Selling Broker. Such balance order report is
prepared and transmitted by the Clearing Company through the automated feature, which
reflects on the screen of Stock Broker on the Settlement Date.
 On or before the Settlement Date, the Selling Broker manually places the securities in his
Main Account from his House Account / Sub-Account (client account). Such securities are
automatically picked by the Clearing System of the Clearing Company and delivered to
the Buying Broker in blocked form. This activity can also be done anytime prior to
settlement date using Future-Dated Intra-Account Delivery.
contd..
10th ACG Cross Training Seminar
27
STP of Ready Market (T+2)
 Simultaneously, the Settling Bank, after confirming as to the availability of sufficient
funds in Buying Broker’s bank account manually marks (by ticking the online report
reflected on its screen) the report, which results in automatic unblocking of securities
delivered in the Main Account of the Buying Broker.
 Once securities are unblocked as a consequence of action performed by the Settling
Bank, the Buying Broker manually moves the securities from his Main Account to his
House Account or, as the case may be, the respective Sub-Accounts of his clients.
With this, the trading and settlement completes.
 In case of delivery default on the part of the Selling Broker on the Settlement Date, the
Clearing System initiates the default proceedings as per their rules and regulations and
squares-up the trade.
 In case of money default, the Clearing System, on the electronic instruction of the
Settling Bank, retrieves the securities delivered in to the Main Account of the Buying
Broker in blocked form into its retrieval account for further processing as per
procedures.
 Institutions are required to become an Account Holder of and an Associate Clearing
Member of Clearing Company.
contd..
10th ACG Cross Training Seminar
28
STP of Ready Market (T+2)
 In case of an institutional trading, the only change is that the risk management is done
directly with such institution, whereby at the time of trading, the Stock Broker specifies
that trading is done on behalf of an institution. Based on such information, the trade
feed send by the Stock Exchange to the Clearing Company are tagged specifying the
details of such institution. The Clearing Company then obtains affirmation from such
institution and securities are then directly delivered to such institution subject to
payment. The whole process is done without any manual intervention.
 As per this STP model, there are manual interventions at three stages as mentioned
above
10th ACG Cross Training Seminar
29
STP of Deliverable Future Market Contracts
In the deliverable futures contract, the settlement is made
after 30 days (every Friday of last week of the month), the
securities are traded in the forward market and after the
script is live on ready market the securities are settled
accordingly. However, marked to market profit/loss is
calculated on daily basis.
10th ACG Cross Training Seminar
30
STP of Continuous Funding System Market
 In this market, the settlement cycle is 22 business days. Securities
purchased by an investor are delivered to the authorized financier. Upon
payment along with agreed mark-up, such securities are delivered to the
investor or the investor may sale the said securities in the ready market
resulting in the closure of CFS contract.
 In case the investor is interested in extending financing period, it can be
rolled over after the expiry of 22nd business day for another 22 business
days.
 However, any corporate action accrued during the intervening period are
automatically passed on the respective investor.

STP Development - A Look Ahead…
 As per the current system design, all securities are routed through the
Main Account while delivering one account to another. Due to such
setup, true STP is not achieved.
 In order to bring in more efficiency and transparency in the securities
transactions, it would be appropriate to change the present model
such that securities are directly transferred from one account to
another.
 Such model would greatly facilitate settlement of securities where UIN
would play major role in identifying the buyer and seller. The system
would have all the information regarding buyer and seller, based on
which securities would be collected from the seller’s account and
directly delivered to the buyer’s account without any manual
intervention.
