SEC 10c-1a Reporting Solution

On October 13, 2023, the SEC voted to adopt a new rule to increase the transparency of securities lending transactions in the U.S. There are several key areas in the incoming regulation that will impact reporting requirements:

Submissions need to be made to FINRA
Lenders, lending agents or brokers (only one side of the trade) are required to report
Submissions are required by the end of day
FINRA will publish anonymized data to the general public
Reportable products include those currently required under CAT, TRACE & MSRB RTRS regimes
A third party can be used to assist firms

What is SEC 10c-1a reporting?

What is the purpose of SEC 10c-1a?

As part of the G20 mandate to increase transparency in capital markets the main financial jurisdictions around the world have instituted rules to require the disclosure/reporting of various types of financial instruments including SFT, and securities, fixed income and derivatives.

SFTR in Europe/United Kingdom was the first regulation to require reporting of SFT transactions to a trade repository and has been live since 2019.

The SEC is instituting its own SFT requirements under this final rule, which aims to increase the transparency of the SFT market in the U.S.

What are the differences between SEC 10c-1a and SFTR?

A single sided reporting regime, instead of the dual-reporting requirement under SFTR
EOD/T+0 submissions, instead of a T+1 requirement
Submissions need to be made to FINRA, instead of a trade repository
Reportable products include those currently required under CAT, TRACE & MSRB RTRS regimes (listed stocks, OTC equity securities, listed options, OTC fixed income securities & municipal securities)
A limited number of data fields (12) will be reported for 10c-1a, compared with 155 data fields under SFTR
ISO 20022 XML standards exist for SFTR, but the data standards are currently unknown for 10c-1a
