US-headquartered DTCC, which processes $1.7 quadrillion worth of securities transactions annually, said the new business will be integrated with its Report Hub to enhance its pre and post trade reporting services.
As a result of this integration, the combined offering would provide clients with a multi-jurisdictional platform that caters to reporting requirements of Australian (ASIC), Canadian (OSC, AMF and MSC), Dodd-Frank, MiFID II, Hong Kong (HKMA) and Singaporean (MAS).
CMRS Portal enables firms, particularly with a lower-volume of reportable derivatives trades, to trace and track data throughout the lifecycle. This provides a much needed alternative to in-house solutions which are often uneconomic due to the initial investment required and ongoing maintenance and support overheads.
