    2. (b)

      a personal investment firm; or

    3. (c)

      an investment firm (including a credit institution which is an investment firm) not within (a) or (b) excluding a firm to whom the ISD does not apply under Article 2(2) of the ISD.

    1. (a)

      an incoming EEA firm in relation to its passported activities; or

    2. (b)

      an oil market participant in relation to its oil market activities.

What?

SUP 17.1.2 G RP

This chapter applies to a firm in SUP 17.1.1 that enters into reportable transactions (whether on its own account or on behalf of others).

Where?

SUP 17.1.3 G RP

This chapter applies with respect to:

  1. (1)

    activities carried on from an establishment maintained by the firm (or its appointed representative) in the United Kingdom; or

  2. (2)

    passported activities of an ISD investment firm (including a credit institution which is an ISD investment firm) carried on from a branch in another EEA State.

SUP 17.1.4 R RP

ECO 1.1.6 R has the effect that this chapter does not apply to an incoming ECA provider acting as such.

SUP 17.2 Purpose

SUP 17.2.1 R RP

This chapter sets out the requirements for firms to report transactions to the FSA. One purpose of the chapter is to implement article 20 of the Investment Services Directive which has the two aims of protecting investors and ensuring the smooth operation and transparency of the markets in transferable securities. Transaction reports also form a useful part of the FSA's arrangements for monitoring (under paragraph 6(1) of Schedule 1 to the Act) and can assist the FSA in assessing the type and conduct of business carried out by a firm.

SUP 17.3 Introduction

SUP 17.3.1 EU RP

The requirements set out in this chapter represent an interim approach to transaction reporting, based on the reporting requirements which previous regulators applied to firms. A number of provisions reflect the interim nature of the requirements - notably the guidance in SUP 17.4.4. Also there are still significant differences in the requirements applicable to different categories of firm. To help firms the FSA intends to publish additional guidance from time to time covering developments and issues in transaction reporting (including sources of relevant information).

SUP 17.3.2 G

The reporting obligations vary according to the nature of a firm's business and the number of transactions which a firm ordinarily enters into. Firms are generally expected to report transactions through the electronic systems listed in the chapter, but firms which enter into relatively few transactions may report those transactions manually, by fax or e-mail (see SUP 17.7).

SUP 17.4 Obligation to make transaction reports

SUP 17.4.1 EU RP

When a firm (whether on its own account or on behalf of another) enters into a reportable transaction (as defined in SUP 17.5), it must make a transaction report (as set out in SUP 17.6) to the FSA.

Exceptions: general

SUP 17.4.2 R RP

A firm need not make a transaction report to the FSA if:

  1. (1)

    the firm complies with a requirement on it to report the reportable transaction to its Home State regulator; or

  2. (2)

    the reportable transaction is transacted on one of the exchanges listed in SUP 17 Annex 1 and the firm reports the reportable transaction to that exchange.

Exceptions: investment management firms and personal investment firms

SUP 17.4.3 R RP

An investment management firm or a personal investment firm need not make a transaction report to the FSA if:

  1. (1)

    the reportable transaction is transacted on a regulated market and the firm:

    1. (a)

      reports the reportable transaction to that regulated market; or

    2. (b)

      satisfies itself that it will be so reported; or

  2. (2)

    the firm is the seller, or is acting on behalf of the seller, and the counterparty for that transaction is another firm; or

  3. (3)

    the firm has reasonable grounds to believe that:

    1. (a)

      another firm is obliged to make a transaction report to the FSA for that transaction; and

    2. (b)

      that other firm is not entitled to rely on this exception.

SUP 17.4.4 G RP

For the purposes of SUP 17.4.3 (3) 'reasonable grounds' would include a firm relying on a broker if:

  1. (1)

    the firm used the same broker for transactions before commencement;

  2. (2)

    that broker was previously regulated by SFA and was subject to its transaction reporting requirements; and

  3. (3)

    the firm is not aware of any material changes to the broker's permission.

SUP 17.4.5 G

The guidance in SUP 17.4.4 is likely to become less relevant over time.

SUP 17.4.6 G

'Reasonable grounds' require more than just a check as to whether the other firm is authorised. For example a firm should not rely on SUP 17.4.3 (3) alone if the only other party to a reportable transaction is an investment management firm or a personal investment firm.

Use of reporting agents

SUP 17.4.7 R

A firm may appoint another person to make transaction reports on its behalf if:

  1. (1)

    the firm has informed the FSA of that appointment in writing; and

  2. (2)

    the transaction reports made on its behalf comply with SUP 17 and distinguish each individual transaction, using the firm's identifying code.

SUP 17.4.8 G

SUP 17.4.7 sets out the conditions which must be satisfied if a firm wishes to appoint someone else to make transaction reports on its behalf. The firm will remain responsible for its compliance with SUP 17.

Other reporting requirements

SUP 17.4.9 G

A firm's obligations under this chapter do not affect any obligation to report transactions under the rules of any reporting system or of any exchange, whether or not that exchange is a regulated market.

SUP 17.5 Reportable transactions

SUP 17.5.1 R

A 'reportable transaction' is a transaction of a type identified in SUP 17.5.4, except:

  1. (1)

    stock or bond lending and borrowing, repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements;

  2. (2)

    asset trading transactions, including novation, assignment and sub-participation; and

  3. (3)

    issues, market allotments and syndications which are not dealt in on a regulated market.

SUP 17.5.2 G

For a list of regulated markets see SUP 17 Annex 5.

SUP 17.5.3 G

In general, transactions, other than those in derivative products, between the issuer of an instrument and the first taker as principal are not reportable transactions. However, if an instrument is already dealt in on a regulated market, all secondary issue transactions are reportable if the new issue ranks equally with those already in issue and the issue is already admitted to trading on 1or listed on a regulated market. All secondary market transactions carried out on or off exchange, before or after the instrument is issued, are reportable. In addition, for a firm which is not a personal investment firm or an investment management firm (essentially BCD credit institutions and securities and futures firms), reportable transactions include transactions in some instruments which are not traded on a regulated market at all - for example the instrument concerned might only be traded over the counter or through a trading facility such as Ofex.

(4)

the transaction size, price and currency;
