MiFID II

The FCA has publishished a Consultation Paper regarding potential changes to its Handbook to accommodate Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II), with a view to publishing a Policy Statement mid-2016.

MiFID II will affect firms to varying degrees depending on the service they provide.

If you have not already done so we recommend that senior management familiarise themselves with the ‘MiFID II – what is changing’ section of the FCA website that can be accessed here and the recent consulation paper here.
