Cappitech Expands Trade Reporting Solution in Australia with CME Group Integration

Cappitech, a leading provider of regulatory reporting and intelligence technology for the financial services industry, today announced hat it has expanded its integrated reporting solution to CME Group’s Australian Trade Repository (ATR). This integration provides investment firms with automation technology to comply with ASIC Derivative Reporting requirements and extends Cappitech’s existing cooperation with the CME Group on its European Trade Repository (ETR) that supports EMIR reporting. Since 2016, over 500 million trades have been submitted to the ETR through Cappitech’s reporting platform.

This new integration with CME’s ATR provides ASIC regulated investment firms with the ability to leverage Cappitech’s source system integration, data transformation, data validation and submission analytics technology to meet derivative reporting obligations efficiently while taking advantage of CME Group’s commercial programmes and experience operating a global list of licensed trade repositories. In line with changing regulatory requirements, Cappitech’s technology supports both the creation of full lifecycle reports as well as end of day position reports.

“We welcome the latest integration with CME Group, a company we’ve been successfully reporting to on behalf of our European customers since 2016. The integration allows our customers with ASIC reporting obligations to comply with their Australian regulatory requirements with ease,” said Ronen Kertis, Founder and CEO of Cappitech. “The backbone of Cappitech is built on providing an enhanced regulatory reporting platform and analytics capabilities using our innovative technology coupled with ease of reporting to a variety of Trade Repositories and ARMs.”
