As a byproduct of this, market participants are poised to face a steep increase of reporting tasks to manage, including an uptick on the price of firm quotes and executed transactions.
Given these headwinds, Bloomberg and Bats Europe have teamed up, forming a joint initiative to enable the ability to report all asset classes across one comprehensive feed directly through Bloomberg’s Regulatory Hub (RHUB). The facilitation of RHUB will also help offer a wide range of services for clients, including processing, enrichment and validation of client’s data, determination of whether reporting is needed and automatic distribution of required reports.
By extension, RHUB clients will be able to use the Bats APA to satisfy equity and ‘equity-like’ trade reporting requirements and the Bloomberg APA for all other asset classes. The partnership is important as this will help enable firms to comply with their reporting obligations requirements while also effectively managing data reconciliation without having to integrate with multiple systems, traditionally an issue in the past.
