Frankfurt am Main, 3.June 2013: A new FSP Release 6.1 has been rolled out to one of the world’s largest investment banks.
New regulatory requirements regarding the Offering Circulars for bulk flow products were implemented under a very strictly defined time line. As well, a redesign of specific aspects of the single issue’s user interface needed to be accomplished before the regulatory deadline.
However, FSP’s modular set up permitted to implement the new format and structure of the base prospectus in an easy and straight forward manner. In addition, in order to handle the dynamically increasing number of documents by the bank’s staff, several improvements have been implemented including tailor-made interface processes to further external recipients.
The new release represents another step on the path to a fully straight through processing issuance workflow.

Frankfurt am Main, 15. April 2013: A new release of FSP has been rolled out to one of the world’s largest investment banks.
A new release of FSP is now covering the new regulatory requirements regarding the Offering Circulars for new issues of structured products. The main benefits of FSP’s generic configuration tools came into play nicely, accelerating the implementation to a few weeks for a whole range of products. In a nutshell, the initial goal was minimizing the necessary review and approval tasks while at the same time making the OCs more manageable and easier to read for the final investor.
It became clear, that new functionalities to be introduced during the implementation now had to cover the splitting of blocks of newly issued securities into groups of products and documenting each of these groups in a separate OC, while maintaining the block nature of the issue process as such.
So, besides the requirement to implement a completely new set of textual and structural requirements for the document templates of OCs using the new base prospectus, it also became necessary to rethink a number of aspects surrounding document and other output generation. As a result of this new set up, it became necessary as well to rethink some of the supporting distribution channels, in order to cover at the same time the existing high demands on efficiency, usability and workflow control.
