“We're staying ahead of the regulatory curve to ensure our clients can meet their compliance obligations,” said Ben Cooling, General Manager of Regulatory Trade and Transaction Reporting at Broadridge. “These updates are part of a broader global initiative to enhance consistency and transparency in derivatives reporting.”

Broadridge's expanded offering comes on the heels of its successful implementation of the European Money Market Statistical Reporting (MMSR) upgrade in July 2024. The company is now developing a U.S. equivalent of the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) for securities lending, set to launch in January 2026.

Additionally, Broadridge plans to upgrade its solution to accommodate major updates to the EU and UK Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) regulations between 2025 and 2027, as well as final updates to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Dodd-Frank reporting requirements.

The company's solution is designed to simplify complex trading requirements and enable firms to comply with varying local rules. It incorporates Global Unique Transaction Identifiers (UTIs), Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs), and Critical Data Elements, aligning with global regulatory standards.
