MIFID2 - Think before your Jump
Are You Suffering from Information Overload?
The PSD2 and the MiFID2 (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) are two new European directives that will come into force in 2018. Banks, brokers, independent financial advisors that would think that it is enough to satisfy the new requirements are wrong. The directives trigger fundamental changes. Strategic thinking is essential.
The implementation of the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) in January 2018 means that firms operating within the European Union will be forced to spend much of next year preparing a strategy for the new regulatory landscape.
Filtering information is now mandatory. Professional investors must share the right information to the right client in the right time and with respect to suitability and appropriateness. Effects will be mixed and certainly positive for independent research providers. Independents managers or research providers dedicated to increasing transparency and efficiency in the investment research space have already begun to fragment the European marketplace.
At InvestGlass, we believe the quality of research produced will increase, not decrease as the research landscape shifts towards independent research providers and managers.
