bovill briefing introducing mifid ii september 2014
DESCRIPTION
Bovill - the UK financial services regulatory consultancy - runs regular briefings. These are the slides from the September briefing - the first of a series on MiFID II. For more information visit www.bovill.com. Further information on the event is below: MiFID brought major regulatory change to investment firms back in 2007. But technological strides and market developments since the financial crisis are now exposing weaknesses in the directive. MiFID II is a complete rebuild – aiming to close the gaps in the regulatory framework and introduce a ‘Mark 2’. Strong enough to protect the investment industry whatever the future holds, Mark 2 will also help achieve all of MiFID’s original aims by bolstering investor confidence. At over 200 pages, MiFID II is longer, broader and more granular than MiFID I. It increases regulatory requirements, may well bring new firms into its scope, and will require changes to the way some investment firms currently work. The first in a series of Bovill briefings on different elements of MiFID II, this introductory session provides: • a general overview of the directive • detailed timelines • the steps you need to start taking now. This briefing is relevant for all compliance officers of firms that undertake investment business in UK and Europe including those firms that are currently exempted from MiFID I.TRANSCRIPT
