SFTR – Your Regulatory Obligations
Achieve your securities financing reporting needs with a leading end-to-end solution

As firms prepare for the approaching deadlines of MiFID II and EMIR revisions, further regulatory change looms with SFTR – Securities Financing Transactions Regulation – bringing additional reporting requirements to Europe-based market participants.


What is SFTR?

Sharing EMIR’s aim to increase transaction reporting transparency, SFTR will require both financial and non-financial market participants to report details of their securities financing transactions (SFTs) to an approved EU trade repository (TR). These SFTs include repurchase agreements (repos), securities lending, sell/buy-back transactions and margin lending. Reporting must include all details of the relevant terms of the repo, stock or margin loan, the composition of the collateral, whether the collateral is available for reuse or has been reused, the substitution of collateral at the end of the day and the modifications applied.


What you need to know

SFTR represents a significant change to the securities financing world and in order to comply, many firms will need to change their existing processes and overcome many, potentially complex challenges. The reporting obligation has 153 reportable fields, based on ISO20022 standards, and firms engaging in SFTs will need an efficient, accurate and timely reporting process that is able to meet the requirements.

Industry expectation is that the reporting obligation will come into effect at the end of Q1 in 2019; those firms engaging in strategic consultation now will be significantly better placed to adapt.
