Force Match (Investment Managers Only)

When you force match a trade:

• At the block level, you accept the executing broker's L2 block field values that are MISM with the values on your side of the trade.
• At the allocation level, you accept the executing broker's L2 allocation field values that are MISM with the values on your side of the trade.

The procedure for force matching a block and force matching an allocation is the same, but with the following limitations:

• Mismatched view—You can select multiple blocks or allocations to force match.
• All Exceptions view—You can only select force match blocks one trade at a time.

To force match a block:

1. In the Mismatched or All Exceptions view, locate one or more blocks that have already L1 paired with your counterparty's trade component and select the check box for each one like the figure below. The highlighted Price fields below are MISM.

2. Click Force Match.

The Force Match Block dialog box appears (see below).

3. Type a comment into the Comments box of the Force Match Block dialog box and then click Force Match.

The UI displays a pop-up confirmation in the lower right corner of your screen to confirm that your action was successful. When you refresh the Mismatched tab, the trade is no longer present because the paired block is matched.
