The Securities and Exchange Commission has received a proposed rule change from The Depository Trust Company (DTC) to update its Securities Valuation Framework. This change is intended to include the use of substantive inputs in the clearing agencies’ risk-based margin systems, following newly adopted rules by the Commission. The proposal includes adding a section to the Framework about handling margin input data, introducing a glossary, and making clarifying changes concerning securities valuation. The goal is to ensure that reliable price data and other essential inputs are used, and to have policies for when such data are unavailable.
Simple Explanation
The Securities and Exchange Commission wants to change how a big company, The Depository Trust Company, figures out the value of certain financial stuff. This will make sure they use good data to make their decisions, and they have plans in case they can't get the data they need.
