Note
The use of this message for investment funds is subject to restrictions - the message may only be sent or received by institutions that are members of the Funds Closed User Group.
MT515 Scope
This message is sent by an executing party, for example, a broker-dealer, to an instructing party, for example, a client, or its authorised representative.
This message is used to confirm the details of a purchase or sale executed by the executing party on behalf of the instructing party. It is also used to provide details on the payment side of the transaction.
It may also be used to:
request the cancellation of a previously sent client confirmation
re-send a client confirmation previously sent
provide a third party with a copy of the message (be it the confirmation or request for cancellation) being sent
Where legally accepted, this message serves as an electronic contract note which is legally binding on both parties.
Where a block trade has been executed and allocation instructions provided, one client confirmation must be sent per allocation.
This message may be sent directly or via an ETC service provider between parties to the trade. It may also be sent as a copy from the instructing party and/or executing party to their respective custodians, to provide settlement information where an agreement to this effect exists.
This message must not be sent by an ETC service provider to a custodian.

MT515 Usage Rules
When an instruction is sent to a party other than the original Receiver, this original Receiver is identified in the other parties sequence as :95a::MERE (Recipient of the Message).
The underlying fund or client (:95a::INVE), must be present.
When a broker is identified as a confirming party, the party capacity (:22F::TRCA) must be specified.
When an ETC service provider transfers a message from one institution to another, and when the originator of the message is not already identified in the confirmation parties sequence or the settlement parties sequence, then the originating party is identified in the other parties sequence as :95a::MEOR (Originator of Message).
In the case of a non-allocated trade, when an order to buy or sell was executed in several parts, normally one confirmation is sent for each day of execution. Where the confirmation is sent upon the final completion of the order, the executing party may show the partial trades, listing the dates, times, quantities and prices (partial fill sequence).
The Receiver of a request to cancel must advise the requesting party that the request has been accepted or denied in an MT 509 Trade Status Message.
