In this show, we catch up with one of our first guests - Danny Corrigan, CEO of the London Reporting House - to discuss the role of data analysis, Regtech and Fintech in the world of repo.  With repo volumes growing quickly and now over three times their volume in 2022, Danny - formerly CEO of CME Nex Abide (trade repository) is joined by John Kernan, CEO of Regis-TR UK to discuss the current 'Repo Renaissance'. With over 1700 market participants actively engaged and more joining as central banks taper QE, join us for a lively chat about the impact of SFTR on repo markets and techniques for using data to enable better trading decisions for market participants.       

In this special extended edition of the RoundUp, we go in-depth on Futures and ETFs, asking the FIA Director of Regulation John Graham to take us through the unique challenges for improving data quality and meeting the new Refit data requirements for the futures industry. We also examine the potential unknowns of reconciling trade position data where previously this has proven extremely complex when it comes to ETFs. We also look at the challenges of Brexit and divergence, and there's the usual AI challenge and lively banter about sports, music and life in The City of London.

In this special feature-length show we go in-depth with Urs Reich (Head of Public Affairs & Markets, SIX) and Laura Rodriguez (Head of Institutional Relations, Regis-TR) to discuss the challenges of managing relationships with government, market authorities, trade organisations and the many stakeholders that affect public affairs and markets at SIX.  We also discuss the big challenges facing market participants in 2024, and ask how companies should be preparing for the growth of AI, digital securities and potential disruptions from geopolitical events and climate change.     

In this show, we answer the most frequently asked questions that market participants need to know about EMIR Refit, our reporting dashboard and UAT testing environment  - plua the changes they'll need to make to their own data capture and workflow to meet their new reporting obligations.

Join co-hosts Andrew Keith Walker and Nick Bruce, with special guests Alvaro Gascon and Victor Rodriguez Garcia from our product management team in Madrid, who have compiled the most asked questions from our Regis-TR webinars and client events, with in-depth technical insights into the new features of our reporting system and how to get the most out of it. 

This week we meet Massimo Salerno, Director of Treasury, Risk and Regulatory Services at Cecabank, and discuss their unique position within the Iberian region as both a market participant and a service provider to over 40 regulated financial entities. As a partner of Regis-TR and the Six Group, we also discuss the synergies and opportunities our partnership has provided with co-host Nick Bruce and regular guest Chris Mason.  We also discuss the EMIR Refit readiness of companies faced with capturing new lifecycle event data, and we put Massimo to the test against an AI version and see who has the best advice for market participants.

In this show we go in-depth with EMIR expert - and old friend of the show - Tim Hartley, to talk about market readiness for EMIR's April 2024 go-live, the need for accurate high quality data reporting and discuss the complexities of the post-Brexit landscape. We're talking about dual reporting obligations, UPIs and some of the more complex areas like the status of UK AIFs under UK EMIR, and the new parties in-scope of the regulation. Plus, we put Tim to the test against an AI version we created using ChatGPT - can the human beat the machine? Tune in to find out...
