The deltaconX regulatory platform enables FinfraG / FIMA Article 104 Derivative Reporting compliance so that your day-to-day operations are streamlined and your ability to work is optimised.
The Swiss Financial Market Infrastructure Act (FMIA), also known as the German denomination FinfraG (Finanzmarktinfrastrukturgesetz), is a framework designed to harmonize Swiss regulations with international standards that came into force January 1st 2016.
Article 104 is the Swiss version of EMIR and covers the reporting of Derivative contracts to a TR, which helps align requirements for eligible parties.
Reduce your costs with our unified SaaS platform that streamlines your processes.
The Swiss Financial Market Infrastructure Act, or FinfraG for short, has imposed a number of obligations on the counterparties to a derivative transaction, including the obligation to report transactions belonging to the following asset-class categories:
FinfraG Art 104 imposes a prescriptive ‘Cascade’ principle on who must report, which makes it a ‘Single Sided’ regime (unlike EMIR), and requires the following to report:
It is important to note that trading between small Non-Financial Counterparties is exempted from reporting, and that participants are considered to be small if they do not exceed the clearing threshold.
Reports must be submitted to a recognised TR the next Business Day (T+1).
Switzerland does not recognize EMIR, making EMIR Refit is not legally enforceable on trades within Switzerland.
However, when Swiss counterparties transact with EU counterparties there are indirect implications for EMIR Refit in the same way as with EMIR, with the onus being on the Swiss counterparty to determine which EMIR category it falls under.
So in order to eliminate the obligation to clear, Swiss FCs need to make sure to verify whether they fall under the new FC- categorization under EMIR or not. What is also important to note is that as the EMIR thresholds differ from the Swiss thresholds, any such verification will have to be performed separately from any determination under the FMIA, i.e., an FC- under the FMIA is not necessarily an FC- under EMIR.
In order for a firm established in Switzerland to successfully determine if they would have been classified as an FC they can simply look at what their classification would have been if they had been established in the EU. If it had been established in the EU and thereby fulfils the FC requirement, then the Swiss firm will qualify as an FC from the EMIR perspective.
