Special Report: The Data Management Implications of Solvency II

Bombarded by a barrage of incoming regulations, data managers in Europe are looking for the ‘golden copy’ of regulatory requirements: the regulation compliance with which will give them most bang for the buck in meeting the demands of the rest of the regulations they are faced with. Solvency II may come close as this ‘golden regulation’.

Ostensibly aimed at embedding risk management into the insurance industry, the regulation has serious repercussions for asset managers and the third-party administrators that service them. Solvency II, which starts to take effect at the beginning of 2013, places a significant reporting burden on asset managers, which will be required to provide unprecedented levels of transparency on the investments of their insurance company clients.

OTC Reform Causing ‘Big Data’ Challenge

Ciaran Henry, Rule FinancialBy Ciaran Henry, US country manager for Rule Financial

In 30 years the OTC derivatives landscape has not faced such sweeping changes as it does today. Dodd-Frank, EMIR and the Volcker Rule are all new regulations in the capital markets devised to protect US and European consumers from ‘bailing out the banks’ again. As these various pieces of regulation are passed through as legislation, we are witnessing first-movers re-engineering their infrastructures to deal with the new real-time reporting regulatory requirements.

Virginie’s Blog – Does CGS and EC’s Agreement Cut the Mustard?

After last week’s heated industry discussions on the subject of data vendor licenses and IP rights (see commentary on which here), the announcement this week that the final Is have been dotted and Ts crossed on the agreement between Cusip Global Services (CGS) and the European Commission may come as something of a disappointment for some.
