LSEG’s UnaVista and MTS collaborate on SFTR reporting

London Stock Exchange Group announced that MTS and UnaVista are collaborating to offer a regulatory reporting solution for firms who execute Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs), such as repo trades.

Market participants with a connection to UnaVista Trade Repository and who trade repo contracts on the new Global Collateral Management (GCM) segment of MTS BondVision will be able to match initial trade data fields, creating an entry in the UnaVista portal which can be populated and enriched with additional data.

The proposed regulation covers SFTs conducted by any firms established in the EU, regardless of where the individual branch is. It will also include SFTs conducted by EU branches of non-EU firms, and any SFT where the securities used are issued by an EU issuer or by an EU branch of a firm. The proposal also explicitly identifies UCITS funds and AIFM funds as being subject to the regulation in its final form.

The collaboration will provide a single solution for the trading and reporting of SFTs with seamless front-to-back reporting of Unique Transaction Identifiers (UTIs), timestamps, ISINs and other product identifiers.
