DTCC provides a seamless, comprehensive SFTR solution through GTR’s registered, licensed trade repositories with optional pre- and post-trade reporting tools offered through the DTCC Report Hub®.

About

The Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) requires all in-scope firms to report their securities financing transactions (SFTs) to an authorized trade repository.

Post-Brexit, DTCC’s Global Trade Repository service (GTR), delivered through DTCC Derivatives Repository Plc (“DDRL”) will help clients meet their Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) SFTR reporting obligations.
