ESMA CLARIFIES ITS POSITION ON REPORTING SYSTEMIC RISK DATA UNDER AIFMD

The European Securities & Markets Authority (ESMA) has updated its Opinion on Collection of information for the effective monitoring of systemic risk under Article 24(5), first sub-paragraph, of the AIFMD, in the context of AIFMD reporting.

ESMA has updated its opinion in relation to Article 24(5), first sub-paragraph of the AIFMD, on data items they believe the NCAs should require AIFMs to report on a periodic basis. With special attention placed on the clarifications of three risk measures Value-at-Risk, Net FX delta and Net commodity delta. The update provides definitions of these risk measures alongside practical examples.

Further to this, ESMA has also released a new version of their AIFMD Q&As today which aim to provide greater interpretation of the three risk measures Net DV01, NET CS01 and Net Equity Delta.

The full Opinion is available from the ESMA website:
