Introduction to FinFrag Reporting

The Swiss Financial Market Infrastructure Act (FMIA), also known under the German denomination FinFrag, came into force on 1 January 2016.

It regulates the organisation and the operation of financial market infrastructures, for example: stock exchanges and central counterparties, the trading of derivatives and the conduct of business rules, for example, insider trading and market manipulations, shareholding disclosures and public takeovers offers.

The main rationale behind FinFrag regulation is to increase transparency in the Swiss OTC derivatives market, and to mitigate systemic, counterparty and operational risks.
