Adhering to financial regulations, collateral requirements, sanctions and screening portfolios has been made ever more complicated over recent years, with look-through criteria now dominating the rule base.
As the leading compositions aggregator, we hold the latest holdings for over 500,000 index, ETPs and mutual funds allowing us to provide a look-through service for our whole suite of regulatory products.
The scope of sanctions programmes is increasingly expanding to derivative instruments such as ETFs, mutual funds, and indices. Compositions and holdings of such instruments are often scattered across multiple heterogenous or proprietary sources. This makes it difficult for participants to accurately identify instruments referencing sanctioned securities.
Our screening service scans all ETF and index data compositions via look-through and identifies instruments referencing sanctioned securities, along with the details leading to the determination. Our comprehensive solutions assist tier one banks and investment firms in complying with the most demanding regulations.
Reports are delivered via email and/or SFTP daily, based on the latest known data composition, even if it changes or is revised intraday. The screening service can be tailored for custom lists to respond to bespoke needs.
