Data Requirements for Bank Loans Clearwater’s third party pricing providers do not support bank loans (“bank loans” are frequently referred to as “syndicated loans” or “leveraged loans.”) For this reason, clients must supply pricing either through their custodial feed, a feed with their asset manager, or obtain a contract with WSO (“Wall Street Office” or “Markit”) which Clearwater can pull data from on behalf of the client. Similarly, Clearwater does not calculate accrued for bank loans. Clients may supply Clearwater with an accrued file (by position or contract). Otherwise, Clearwater will recognize income as it is received in the custodial account. The following table contains the full range of data fields used by Clearwater. The fields listed are critical to reconciliation and must be supplied before the data can be processed. All fields are requested and required field are notated. Please provide as much data as available to ensure accurate reporting. The left two tables comprise of the data needed on a daily basis, while the right table is data only needed at the time of implementation (Initial Load).
