Hedge funds will have to continue adhering to stricter short selling reporting rules as the EU markets watchdog has renewed requirements enforced at the height of the coronavirus pandemic until December.
The renewal means that funds with net short positions that reach or exceed 0.1% of the issued share capital will have to notify national regulators until 19 December this year, with the possibility for the rules to be extended in the future.
