MiFID II transaction reporting

Transaction reporting and record keeping

The bringing together of a record of every order, execution and transaction event.

The challenge of MiFID II reporting compliance

To comply with MiFiD II reporting rules, many buy-side firms will need access to extensive reference data on the instruments with which they trade, both to determine what needs to be reported and to generate the data points.

Investment firms must report transactions in any MiFID II financial instruments to their local regulator or approved reporting mechanism (ARM) no later than the close of the following working day.

Under MiFID II, each individual transaction report can contain up to 65 fields, including:

new flags, detailing particular trade types in certain instruments
specific details of participants, including the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI code) of counterparties, funds and individual accounts
and, raising privacy concerns, significant additional personal details (National ID/ passport numbers) of the individual persons involved in both the investment and execution decision.
