Overview
The Japanese Special Reporting System (SRS) applies to investors who trade securities as part of their daily business activities without a controlled intent. Investors must report within 5 business days from every 'base date', which occurs at least twice per month. The special reporting system applies only when the shareholding ratio is 10% or less.
An investor who wishes to report under the Special Reporting System in Japan may do so by setting the base dates they have submitted to the regulator for each entity that is subject to disclosure in Japan. There are two ways this can be done:
Adding the column header BaseDate to the portfolio file in Excel and adding all base dates to the entities; or
Setting base dates manually in the UI within the entity's Rule Properties tab.
If a base date falls on a weekend or holiday, the last working day before the base date is used to determine whether it has been crossed.
Permitted values
The base dates must be submitted as a comma-separated list, containing only the day in the month on which the base date occurs.
Numerical values are allowed from Day 1->28, and the string "LastDay" represents the last day of the month. To represent the last day of the month, the input would be "LastDay", and this convention may be used up to "LastDay-28."
Examples
If the base dates were the 10th and the last day of each month, the input should be 10, LastDay.
or
If the base dates were the 5th, the 20th, and the second-to-last day of the month, the input should be 5, 20, LastDay-2.
