FinDatEx has released TPT V7 for public consultation, open until October 15th, 2024. This latest version brings key updates, including new fields for expected maturity dates and enhanced representation of Payment in Kind (PIK) features, among other important changes. These improvements are especially significant for GPs and LPs managing private debt funds, as they aim to improve the accuracy and depth of security modeling. Stay informed and ensure your feedback is heard during the consultation period. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how these changes may impact your operations. #tpt #solvencyii #pik #pd #privatedebt #reporting #findatex

We’ve been partnering with several clients over the past years to tackle PRIIPs transaction cost calculations. Along the way, we’ve gained valuable insights into collecting and standardizing data from diverse sources, including order management systems, TCA providers, fund accountants, and internal applications. With the regulatory deadline for the arrival price methodology approaching at year’s end, many asset managers are focused on implementation. If you’re interested in best practices, we’d be happy to share our experience in a friendly introductory conversation. Feel free to reach out to Alexander Ehmann or Bryce Kovacs for more details. #priips #transactioncost #tcc #regtech #fintech #data #arrivalprice

On Tuesday, our colleague Alexander Ehmann, together with Ingeborg Schumacher, Dr. iur. Heidi Erika Gysi, Daniel Sailer and Marc Zoll, was on the panel of the Friends of Funds event "ESG Update: Regulation, metrics, categorizations, data quality", which was moderated by Neda Derlokova. The panel discussed the experience gained in recent years with the various ESG regulations. The participants agreed that the current regulation is too extensive and complicated and that this is one reason why the topic of ESG has not yet had the desired effect, particularly in retail fund distribution. It was therefore agreed that it would make sense to simplify regulation for retail investors, whereas institutional investors will continue to require detailed ESG information. The potential impact of the recently published Joint ESAs Opinion on the assessment of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) (https://lnkd.in/dz-kahUP) and the Guidelines on funds' names using ESG or sustainability-related terms (https://lnkd.in/d7AExBrj) were also discussed. It remains to be seen how these, in particular the introduction of uniform ESG labels, will be accepted by the market. What is certain is that investors will need more rather than less explanation in the future. The quote of the evening came from Marc Zoll: "Fund companies should take ESG seriously, but remain relaxed about it." We are already looking forward to the next Friends of Funds event! #ESG #SFDR #EET #sustainability #esginvestments #transformation #fundreporting
