FinDatEx publishes EMT V4.3

Today, FinDatEx releases version 4.3 of the European MiFID Template (EMT). Compared to earlier versions, EMT V4.3 adds three optional fields related to "Value Cost Advantage" (VCA), which are relevant only for structured products distributed in France. These fields are:


  • 11000_EMT_Data_Reporting_VCA_FR
  • 11010_Used_VCA_Methodology_FR
  • 11020_Hyperlink_To_VCA_Methodology_FR


These new fields have become necessary due to evolving regulatory expectations for distributors of structured products in France, who will need to exchange information on the successful outcome of a test (and the methodology employed) to evaluate a product’s value. The fields related to the ‘Value Cost Advantage’ are separate from, and without prejudice to, the ongoing discussions on Value for Money in the context of the Retail Investment Strategy and should not be regarded as prejudging their outcome


EMT V4.3 is available from 15 January 2026. This version will be completely optional and will coexist with previous versions of the EMT.
