AIFMD and CSDR art. 9 reports are moving to FIDAC

2024-09-03 | News Reporting

Starting with the reference date 2024-09-30 (Q3), the alternative investment fund reporting concerning managers (AIFM), their underlying funds (AIF) and Internalised Settlement Reporting article 9, must be submitted in the FIDAC reporting system.

The reports are submitted by uploading XML files to FIDAC. The XML files should be created in the same way and with the same XML schemas, which are available on ESMA's website. For the AIFM, AIF and CSDR art. 9 the schemas are unchanged from the previous reporting system. However, there are more extensive validation rules in FIDAC, based on ESMA's documentation.

Test reporting and login

Test reporting will be available from the middle of September via "FIDAC Test Reporting" in the Reporting Portal.

Log in via the Reporting Portal, as usual. Individuals who already have authorisation to submit periodic reporting will be given access to "FIDAC Test Reporting" in the reporting portal. The same authorisation gives access to the real reports as well, via "FIDAC" in the reporting portal. Both will be available in September.
