The investments are made according to the CPPI guidelines. The objectives of the investment pools in decreasing priority are as follows: 1) Security 2) Liquidity 3) Return To optimize investment returns and maintain liquidity, the UNHQ Treasury pools the investments in two portfolios: • USD Investment Pool • EUR Investment Pool In addition, the UNHQ Treasury also manages the investments in CHF on behalf of the UNSMIS. Copyright © United Nations 13 Review of IPSAS Compliance for Investment Accounting The Umoja solution is designed to reinforce compliance of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). Compliance in UN investment accounting is achieved through the following parameters: Fair Value through Surplus or Deficit Adherence to Trade Date over Settlement Date Copyright © United Nations 14 Contributing Factors to Investment Decisions The determination of appropriate investments by Front Office is based on the following factors: Interest Rates Duration Terms Risks Counterparty limits UNHQ Treasury invests in the following types of financial instruments: • Time Deposits • Money Market Funds • Fixed/Variable Income Bonds (US Treasuries, Bonds, Notes and Bills) The settlement process followed depends on the type of financial instrument being traded. Copyright © United Nations 15 Processing Investments in Umoja Investment Officers run the trades using Bloomberg Aim. Ultimately, trade details will be interfaced from Bloomberg to Umoja. However, this interface is not being implemented for Cluster 1. Until the interface is in place, the trades will have to be manually entered into Umoja. After a trade is recorded in Umoja, the Investment Back Office will go through the trade settlement process, which includes confirming trade details with the counterparty, creating SWIFT confirmation/payment instructions and posting the trade. If the trade involves a new financial instrument, then the following steps need to be completed before the trade can be recorded in Umoja: 1. If the instrument is from a new issuer, then the issuer has to be set up in BP as an issuer by the Master Data team 2. After the BP is created, then the Security Master details have to be set up in Umoja by the Investment Back Office Copyright © United Nations 16 Processing Investments in Umoja The first part of this module reviews the different types of investment-related transactions that are processed. Recording and Settling Investment Pool Deposit and Withdrawals Recording, Confirming and settling Money Market Investments Recording, Confirming and Settling Fixed Income Investments Process steps conducted in Umoja are highlighted in blue.

It is possible to modify a trade even after security flows have been posted so the need to reverse a trade should be very rare. After a transaction is modified or reversed, the accompanying flows must be reversed before re-posting the flows again. Investment Operations will be responsible for reversing the appropriate flows, depending on what stage the transaction is in. Example: If the trades do not match, Investment Operations will inform Front Office who will take the required action by modifying or reversing the trade.

These are transactions involving purchase and sale of other currencies. It is the risk of loss stemming from exposure to adverse foreign exchange rate movements. These are transactions to buy or sell a particular currency on the spot date. In the FX market, spot transactions normally settle two business days after the trade date. It is a financial contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price at a future date after the spot date. Copyright © United Nations 71 Key Terminology Key Term Option contract Online Trading Platform Description It is a financial contract that provides the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to engage in a specific transaction, while the seller incurs the obligation to fulfill the transaction if so requested by the buyer. It is a software interface, which allows legally binding financial transaction to be performed on terminals or through desktop software, on closed networks or over secure Internet connections. Copyright © United Nations 72 FX Transaction Execution Process: High-Level Process The FX Transaction Execution process comprises of three key steps: Review FX Exposure and Requirement Perform Required FX Transactions Copyright © United Nations Confirm and Settle Transactions 73 Review FX Exposure Review FX Exposure and Requirement Perform Required FX Transactions Confirm and Settle Transactions The process begins with the review of FX requirements of missions and OAHs and any FX exposures to determine which currencies need to be purchased or sold. As Umoja will allow for aggregation of FX requirements, it will lead to better forecasting of FX requirements and significant savings in transaction costs. Note: The investment portfolio will be marked-to-market twice a year (June and December). This will be done at the portfolio level (UNHQ Treasury), with allocations to portfolio participants. Copyright © United Nations 74 Perform Required FX Transactions Review FX Exposure and Requirement Perform Required FX Transactions Confirm and Settle Transactions Once the FX transaction requirements have been determined, the Investment Officer may perform the FX trade in the spot or forward market, depending on the requirement. Both spot and forward FX transactions are performed in FXAll, the FX trading platform used by UNHQ Treasury. Once the FX trade is performed, the trade details are re-entered in Umoja for settlement and accounting purposes. Copyright © United Nations 75 Confirm & Settle Transactions Review FX Exposure and Requirement Perform Required FX Transactions Confirm and Settle Transactions After the transaction has been entered in Umoja by the trader, the Settlement Officer must perform the following steps to complete the trade: 1. Process the transaction and calculate the required cash flows 2. Confirm the trade with counterparty. If there are discrepancy then send the trade back to the investment officer 3. Review the standard settlement instruction for the counterparty and generate SWIFT message for payment to the counterparty 4. Post the trade, which updates the liquidity forecast and related cash flow information Copyright © United Nations 76 Learning Checkpoint 1 Which of the following types of transactions are performed in FXAll?

Distribute Investment Income and Expense Note: The detailed steps are discussed in the subsequent slides. Copyright © United Nations 99 Process Net Revenue Allocation to Investment Fund Participants FMADB_post is used to distribute income and expenses to the investment pool participants. The distribution can be run daily. However, initially it will be run once a month but run thirty times to capture daily balances. As with all Umoja processes, ADB can be run in test mode prior to posting the distribution. If any revenue or expense posting document is reversed then ADB_POST should be re-run for that date to account for the change. Instead of accruing interest daily and capitalizing every six months, interest will be distributed on a daily basis based on the daily balance. Let’s walk through this process in Umoja.

MT-535 from the custodian would be uploaded into Umoja to compare the asset position in Umoja to that recognized by the custodian. After the comparison is run, a status e-mail will be sent to the Back Office staff nightly. If there are any failures, action must be taken immediately. Similarly, when Bloomberg to Umoja interface is in place, positions in the two systems will also be reconciled.
