When Issued (WI) Automation

Eliminate post–auction workflow risks.

When a new US Treasury bond or note is issued, it trades with an assumed coupon rate under a WI (When Issued) status. Operations teams must manually convert existing WI positions to the current (on-the-run) US Treasury Security after the auction when the coupon rate is finalized. As the process is manual, errors arise due to timing, incorrect coupon rates being used or forgetting to do the process altogether. These errors cause delays and further issues.
