Where do you need to submit MAS OTC Derivative reports?
MAS OTC derivative reports are sent to designated trade repository (TR) which are regulated under MAS, and who manage and secure the data and make it available solely to regulators. Currently, DTCC is the only TR you can report to.
Under MAS Regulation are retails counterparties under scope?
Under scope for MAS are any OTC derivatives which include CFDs and FX. However, the regulation exempts trades with retail counterparties. This is important item for CFD brokers as it limits the number of trades they need to report or exempts them altogether. Worth noting is that the exemption doesn’t cover STP hedging of retail flow with intra-group entities or external entities. Therefore, STP brokers who are hedging over $SGD 5 billion in trades with an institutional entity are required to report those legs of the trade to the MAS.
Are there exemptions for ETD trades?
Yes, MAS regulation only requires OTC derivative trades to be reported with exchange traded derivatives (ETDs) exempt from the regulation.
