MiFID II Mandate

In 2018, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), which is the responsible supervisory authority, launched the reform of MiFID II, with a broader scope in terms of transparency, instruments and coverage, for investment and trading firms. The primary goal behind the introduction of this transaction reporting system was to protect the investors and strengthen both the regulatory and the compliance industries.

Even before the implementation of MiFID II, the MiFID regulation was in force in the European Union as of November 2007. The MiFID regulation is considered a cornerstone of the EU regulations.

In October 2011, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal for the revision of the MiFID. After more than two years of debate, the Directive on Markets in Financial Instruments repealed the Directive 2004/39/EC and the regulation on markets in financial instruments was adopted by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament, and was published in the official EU Journal on 12 June 2014.

MiFID II Transaction Reporting

The new MiFID II and MiFIR ensure fairer, safer and more efficient markets and facilitate greater transparency for all eligible firms. The mandate includes new reporting requirements and tests which will increase the amount of information available and reduce the use of dark pools and OTC Trading.

Under the MiFID II, Eligible firms are required to report on nearly all instruments traded on regulated markets, Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs), Organised Trading Facilities (OTF) and financial instruments, which creates the need for a dedicated MiFID reporting solution for quality, error-free reporting of these transactions.

When MiFID II Reports be filed?

The submission of MiFID II reporting is on a T+1 basis, which means that reports are to be sent before end of the day following the transaction day.

Challenges in MiFID II Reporting

Compliance reporting

Daily Reporting

MiFID II requires financial firms to share information regarding all eligible trades in regulated markets within one day of the transaction day. With the significantly enhanced number of reporting fields (65 fields) to be populated in the report. This means that every qualifying transaction needs to be collated and kept ready for reporting by the end of the following day, which makes it extremely challenging for eligible firms to comply, unless they have a prompt solution.

Data Collation and Preparation

The solution should cover a broader set of trading and financial instruments. This is a tedious requirement to satisfy, as it requires collating data from multiple sources and preparation of the report on a daily basis. Also, the error reports from the regulator are in XML format, which is not user-friendly; preparation of the report is difficult, as it takes time to understand and resolve it.

Validation Check

Eligible firms are required to generate valid reports that adhere to and are compliant with various validation rules listed by the ESMA; if the transaction report contains validation errors, it will be rejected. Reporting entities have to ensure that their report passes Content and File Validation to ensure successful reporting.
