TL:DR For purposes of the proposed rule change, FINRA considers a “portfolio trade” to be a trade between two parties for a basket of corporate bonds at a single aggregate price for the entire basket. FINRA rules do not allow for reporting of a single portfolio trade with an aggregated price. Instead, a member firm must report to TRACE a trade for each individual bond in the portfolio with an attributed dollar price for each bond. FINRA believes that, in many cases, the reported price for each bond in a portfolio trade is in line with the bond’s current market price, while in other cases the attributed price reported for an individual bond might deviate from its current market price.
