Transaction reporting

See also trade reporting, an obligation imposed by MiFID under Art. 28.

Transaction reporting is imposed on investment firms by Art. 25 of MiFID. A transaction report comprises a set of fields including all descriptive information relating to each trade made by a firm over the course of a period, usually a day. Exemptions do exist for certain classes of trades. Under MiFID the transaction report is made via an approved reporting mechanism (ARM) on a T+1 basis. Under EMIR the transaction report is made to a trade repository, also on a T+1 basis.

Under MiFID FX, commodities and interest rate products are not in scope. Under EMIR FX, commodities, credit, interest rate and equity products are all covered.

In a Nutshell™:

1. Competent authorities must monitor investment firms to ensure that they act honestly, fairly, professionally and act to promote the integrity of the market.
2. investment firms must hold for five years' data on all transactions they have handled including full client identification.
3. investment firms must report to the competent authority by close of the following working day all transactions in financial instruments admitted to trading on a regulated market, whether or not carried out on a regulated market.
4. This includes names and quantities of instruments traded, the time and date of execution, price and the investment firm concerned.
5. Reports must be made by the investment firm, a third party acting on its behalf, or an approved trade reporting system. Where reported by the market or a trade reporting system, the investment firm's obligations may be waived.
