Filing Manager: One-click short selling reporting
Automate short sale disclosures globally without the manual mess
The time to automate is now
Whether it is 10s or 100s of disclosure that need doing, filing with multiple regulators is time consuming and prone to error. With emails, documents and portals just some of the moving parts, it is easy to make a mistake and then have to start all over again or face a fine. Recent regulations and amended rules such as the SEC's 13f-2 demonstrate an increased appetite from regulators to enhance market transparency and gain greater insight into short selling activities.
Thats where we come in...
FundApps' Filing Manager helps you meet short selling reporting obligations with speed and accuracy. Whether you are shorting futures, trading derivatives, or disclosing hedge fund shorting activity, we make sure you stay on top of it.
How FundApps Filing Manager works
Filing manager automates the disclosure reporting process. It uses the client-provided data and provides a fully audited service to file for the client - so a compliance team member doesn't have to. It identifies disclosures once the positions file runs and prepares them to be submitted to the relevant regulator. The system identifies when it is 'Disclosing' (when the data is submitted to the regulator but are still awaiting confirmation) and 'Filed' (when confirmation is received from the regulator).

Key features

When to disclose
Have clarity and consistency of when to disclose whether it is daily, T+ 1, from position date or only when the threshold is crossed.

What to disclose
Rules vary across the globe and Filing Manager ensures you submit the right data points in the right format.

Where to disclose
Submitting disclosure reports across different jurisdictions means portals, SOAP, FIX, API, logins and passwords. We know where.

Secure & seamless
Automated data submission direct from our platform to regulators including ASIC (AU), BaFin (DE), FCA (UK), FI (SE), MAS (SG), SEC (US) and SFC (HK).
Reduce risk, cost, burden
We continue to push the regulators to reduce the compliance burden for short selling disclosure.
This includes recently submitting recommendations to the UK Call for Evidence such as bulk uploads via API. positive lists (not FIRDS + Exempted Shares List + ESS List) and limiting it to larger companies.
We're also excited about what ESMA is doing including the 'proposed establishment of a centralised notification and publication system of NSPs' which will help 'improve the transparency of EU markets' and 'strengthen the capacity to react to crises'.
Our Filing Manager system provides significant time savings and proposals like the above will mean more time saved and improved accuracy.
