MiFID II Awareness

A few thousand pages, that’s how voluminous the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and its related regulations and guidance documents are. MiFID II aims to make the European financial markets more transparent and to protect investors. All financial institutions must comply with MiFID II if they want to offer investment products or ancillary services. How do you find your way through all these rules? And is everything applicable to your work environment?

In this training, we will familiarize you with the main aspects of the MiFID II regulations that apply to investment firms and financial markets. These include investment advice and asset management, but also execution-only services and trading on stock exchanges. In addition, the rules regarding the provision of information to investors from other regulations will also be discussed. We cover eight important themes. Upon completion of the course you will know what the regulations on these topics are and how to comply with them in practice.
