Legal Aspects

Markets in Financial Instruments Directive

The European Parliament’s Directive 2004/39/EC on markets in financial instruments (MiFID I), which applied in all the member States of the EU from 2007 to 2017, initially aimed at:

  • Harmonising the regulatory framework governing the provision of investment services
  • Increasing transparency and competition on financial markets
  • Increasing investor protection

The European Commission has reviewed the MiFID framework. The revised legislation, called MiFID II, entered into force on 3 January 2018. MiFID II includes:

  • The Directive: MiFID II – 2014/65/EU
  • The Regulation: MiFIR – 2014/600/EU

The regulatory requirements for European investment firms cover mainly:

  • Enhanced suitability and appropriateness tests
  • Strengthened corporate governance and internal control frameworks
  • Transparency on costs & charges
  • Inducements acceptable in specific circumstances for non-independent investments firms, which is the case for the entities of the UBP Group subject to those rules
  • Extended product governance obligations
