NEX Regulatory Reporting is the result of the acquisition of Abide Financial back in October 2016. The deployment of a focused reporting solution will help support its existing client base. In particular, adding the SFTR trade repository and solution to its already robust Global Reporting Hub will provide clients with an end-to-end solution for the securities lending and repo markets.
Ken Pigaga, CEO of NEX Optimisation, commented: “While we await the final technical standards from ESMA, we have begun to put the building blocks in place for an SFTR solution and trade repository which will not only support our existing client base within NEX, but also the wider securities lending and repo markets.”
“It’s important that service providers and clients alike begin to prepare for the impending regulation now, to avoid the last-minute rush for compliance that many in the market are currently experiencing ahead of MiFID II,” he reiterated. NEX Regulatory Reporting has been planning for MiFID II for months, having previously garnered authorization from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for Abide Financial as an Approved Publication Arrangement (APA) in the new regime.
MiFID II and its upcoming implementation will be an extensive area of focus at the 2017 Finance Magnates London Summit next week at Old Billingsgate. This include multiple panel discussions and seminars specifically dedicated to focusing on the new regulation. Mark Kelly, Director of Professional Services at NEX Regulatory Reporting, will be participating in the discussion.
