UK FCA's New Short-Selling Data Plagued by Errors, Untracked Modifications

According to the Financial Times, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released short-selling data on July 18 containing multiple errors and unrecorded modifications. Under the new regulation, the FCA replaced name-by-name disclosure of major short positions with aggregated data by stock. Data provider Breakout Point identified numerous errors in the published information, with some positions subsequently deleted or amended without any modification records. The dataset also included positions from years prior that are extremely unlikely to still exist. Breakout Point founder Ivan Kosovic noted that initial issues may be understandable, but "hidden modifications" in official market records should not become standard practice.
