MiFID II Basics

 

MiFID (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive), in place since November, 2007, has been a European financial services regulation meant to assist fair competition in the EU’s markets and ensure a consistent level of consumer protection.

 

Due to various technological changes, innovations in financial instruments, and increased fragmentation of markets and data (especially since the 2008-9 world financial crisis), a second regulatory package called MiFID II was implemented on January 3, 2018.

 

While MiFID applied solely to equity products, MiFID II extends to other asset classes and has more specific and wide-ranging reporting execution and record keeping requirements.  For the first time, products like bonds and derivatives that trade over-the-counter will be subject to certain reporting requirements to create price transparency and supervisory oversight.

MiFID II Functions and Benefits

MiFID II mandates an unprecedented level of transparency with the express aim of making European markets more fair, safe and efficient.  However, fully understanding and then implementing policies and practices that comply with this new regulatory regime will be challenging for most firms.

 

Under MiFID II, member states require investment firms to undertake all sufficient steps to obtain, when executing orders, the best possible result for their clients while taking into account price, costs, speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, nature or any other consideration relevant to the execution of the order.

 

Financial services companies and individual professionals are being directed to develop or obtain the technology needed to provide a higher level of detail on where, why and how trades are executed.
