MT536 — Statement of Transactions
The securities movements statement over a period. Lists every buy, sell, delivery and corporate action — the transactional history that complements the position snapshot of MT535.
Purpose
MT536 lists every transaction that affected a securities account over a period — typically the past business day — with one line per operation: purchases (RECE = receive), sales (DELI = deliver), corporate actions, redemptions, maturities, and any other move that altered positions or related cash balances.
It complements MT535 (state of positions) to provide an audit trail: MT535 says "where you stand", MT536 says "how you got there". Together they let an asset manager reconcile its internal book with the custodian's view.
Sequence structure
- GENL — General Information: reference, period dates, statement frequency, securities account.
- SUBSAFE — Sub-balance Information per instrument: one sequence per ISIN with movements.
- TRANSDET (Transaction Details) — sub-sequence repeated for each transaction: trade date, settlement date, quantity, price, amount, side.

Common pitfalls
- Period
:69A:and CODE inconsistent — aCOMPstatement covering one day must list all moves of that day; aDELTonly moves since the last statement. Period must match frequency. - REDE vs PAYM — FREE means a transfer without payment (between accounts of the same holder, securities lending). APMT means delivery versus payment (DvP). Swapping the two breaks the cash reconciliation.
- Missing or wrong MIC —
:94B::TRAD//EXCH/XXXXmust carry a valid ISO 10383 MIC: XNAS, XNYS, XPAR, XLON. Otherwise MiFID II reporting is non-compliant. - Signed vs unsigned quantity — MT536 uses an explicit indicator (
REDERECE/DELI) instead of a sign. Flipping it inverts the reconciliation balance. - Settlement date in the past — an MT536 received after settlement happened must carry a past date. Reconciliation fails if the asset manager expects a statement in advance.
