Regulatory Reporting and Credit Risk Management on the Buy-Side: How FinTech Can Assist with Upcoming Challenges Over the past 3-4 years the avalanche of new Regulations has exceeded all our expectations and created a new challenging environment for market participants. EMIR, MIFIDII, the upcoming SFTR and other Regulations all require both buy and sell side clients to report to regulators in a timely manner. Banks and other larger institutions have faced these challenges by dramatically increasing their Compliance, Operations and IT departments and introducing a lot of manual work arounds while they were developing internal technical solutions that allowed them to automate the processes and meet new criteria. Buy-Side clients, especially the small to medium sized ones, have never had the luxury of expanding their compliance personnel nor did they have budgets to develop solutions internally. Order Management Systems Providers were not able to respond from their side on time and those of them that were not CLOUD based had to spend months developing new upgraded versions. However, each upgrade of the systems needs to be integrated separately into the environments of individual clients. As a result, smaller clients are suffering at the expense of larger buy-side clients who bring the larger contracts and cash flows to the Providers.
