Reliable, Efficient, Predictable
The CanDeal/TMX Term CORRA benchmark is a forward-looking, risk-free reference rate available in 1-month and 3-month tenors, and designed as an alternative to CDOR.
Term CORRA offers market participants:
- Reduced operational complexity and costs
- Certainty in cash flow forecasting
- Access to a forward-looking discount rate
Aligned with IOSCO principles, CanDeal/TMX Term CORRA has been developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and endorsed by the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate (CARR) working group and Canadian Fixed-Income Forum (CFIF) members. It is approved for loan products, trade finance and single currency derivatives for end-users hedging Term CORRA-based loans.
Methodology
Term CORRA benchmark rates will be calculated using transactions, executable bids and offers in the central limit order book (CLOB) of the One-Month CORRA Futures (COA™) and Three-Month CORRA Futures (CRA™) traded on the Montréal Exchange over a specific calculation period. It is intended to reflect an indicative, forward-looking rate based on the CORRA overnight index swap rate for both 1- and 3-month tenors.
The Term CORRA benchmark will be published on a same-day T+0 frequency at 1:00 pm ET each day on the high-performance TMX Datalinx distribution platform.
Given the interdependency of Term CORRA and the liquidity of underlying CORRA futures contracts, the methodology is subject to amendments based on trading and liquidity conditions. While every effort has been made to create a robust and sustainable benchmark, Term CORRA’s long-term sustainability is not guaranteed. Therefore, CARR and CFIF require users to have robust fallback language referencing overnight CORRA calculated in-arrears and to build the operational capacity to transact in those fallback rates.
Administration
Term CORRA will be produced and managed, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, by CanDeal Benchmark Administration Services Inc. as the benchmark administrator. TMX Datalinx, TMX Group’s information services division, will provide the licensing and distribution capabilities.
