Eligible funds

Investment funds that are eligible in Greece CSD, ATHEXCSD or T2S can be made eligible in CFCL.

Custody chain and depository

Greece is a T2S market.

The OneClearstream service level provides clients with a single point of access to all T2S markets with comprehensive instruments coverage. This is complemented by full harmonization of asset services and connectivity channels between CFCL, CBL, and CEU. This service is available to all our clients via a single interface and log-on.

The service description is valid for CFCL clients, unless otherwise highlighted in the documentation. CFCL utilises the T2S infrastructure platform to access Greece’ CSD (ATHEXCSD) through the intermediaries of CBL. CFCL uses CBL as a global custodian across all markets.

Moment of entry of instructions

On-exchange transactions concluded at ATHEX securities market: defined as irrevocable from their conclusion at ATHEX regardless of the moment of entry of the respective file to AΤΗΕΧCSD.

OTC transactions: defined as irrevocable from their conclusion regardless of the moment of entry of the respective settlement instructions to AΤΗΕΧ CSD.

Irrevocability of instructions

Identical to moment of entry (see above).

Finality of instructions

For securities, finality takes place when the transfer of ownership takes place, for instance, when securities are debited/credited to investor accounts, within the batch, and for cash, when a cash credit/debit takes place, at the end of the batch.

From an indebtedness point of view, the CSD rules refer to the “settlement moment", for example, the moment under which the settlement (credits/debits) takes place.
