SFTR
Securities Financing Transactions Regulation — EU/UK trade reporting requirements for SFTs.
The Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) introduced comprehensive reporting requirements for securities financing transactions across the EU and UK. Firms must report the details of their SFTs to an authorised trade repository, covering securities lending, repo, buy-sell back and margin lending activity.
What SFTR requires
SFTR mandates dual-sided reporting of more than 150 data fields per transaction, on a T+1 basis. Counterparties must agree and reconcile trade economics, collateral and lifecycle events, placing significant demands on data quality and operational workflow.
