SUP 16.11.1AG

15Where a regulated mortgage contract has been sold or securitised, the firm responsible for the performance data report should be the ‘principal administrator’ submitting the MLAR (see section G of SUP 16 Annex 19AR and the guidance notes on section G in SUP 16 Annex 19BG).

Purpose

SUP 16.11.2GRP
  1. (1)

    The purpose of this section2 is to set out the requirements for firms in the retail mortgage, investment, consumer credit lending8 and pure protection contract markets specified in SUP 16.11.1 R to report individual product sales data, and to report individual performance data on regulated mortgage contracts,7 to the FCA17. In the case of firms in the sale and rent back market, there is a requirement to record, but not to submit, sales data13. These requirements apply6 whether the regulated activity has been carried out by the firm, or through an intermediary which has dealt directly with the firm.

    2177766
  2. (2)

  3. (3)

    Certain of the information is required under PRA rules: see SUP 16.11.7R(2) to (5). This information is collected by the FCA for the PRA, but the PRA allows the FCA to retain the information for the FCA’s purposes.15
