Are you getting ready yet?
Why is MiFID II so important?
MiFID II will drive fundamental changes in the European securities markets, in parallel with developments underway in the United States and globally.
MiFID II, while addressing the problems of data and market fragmentation created by the original MiFID Directive, takes on board many lessons from the financial crisis. Investor protection measures will be substantially improved. All markets will become much more transparent and all forms of trading venue subject to regulation. The new rules take account of recent technology-driven market changes and look to ‘future-proof’ the regime. Most market participants will face enhanced supervision and reporting requirements with exemptions from the regime significantly reduced. And even exempted participants will not be totally immune to all the new rules.
While MiFID transparency requirements focussed primarily on shares, MiFID II extends these to all forms of ‘equity-like’ instruments and introduces analogous requirements for fixed income and derivative products.
It will be supplemented and reinforced by other regulatory changes, such as the regulations on OTC, central counterparties, and trade repositories (EMIR) and on central securities depositories (CSDR), together with revisions of the Market Abuse Directive. Its investor protection measures are also complemented by a number of other legislative changes.
This is no compliance exercise – it will change your business and the markets
The revised Markets in Financial Instruments regime (MiFID II) will be burdensome for all those operating in the European securities markets but also presents significant opportunities. With over two years to prepare and many details still not in place, the temptation is to wait. But this is ill-advised. Waiting may lose you first mover advantage in key strategic areas. Waiting will also significantly increase your costs.
The new regime will impact all areas of your business. It warrants a major change programme.
However, MiFID II is no isolated change. By addressing MiFID II as a standalone compliance exercise, you’ll get sub-optimal outcomes, including sub-optimal compliance. It should be put into context with all the other key regulatory changes in the European Union, focussing on investor protection, market integrity and market infrastructure.

Figure 1: Extensive impact on your business
How will MiFID II impact your business?
MiFID II will have a significant impact across the whole securities value chain, from front-office sales and trading, through to back-office reporting and all points in between. The way you interact with your clients and other market participants will change radically.
Who will be impacted?
Anyone operating in the securities markets – in whatever capacity – will be affected. The impact in terms of time, effort and associated costs will vary but no-one escapes entirely. The list includes:
• Broker dealers (sales and trading);
• Investment banks and corporate finance houses;
• Market infrastructure providers (e.g. trading platforms, data aggregators/disseminators);
• Buy-side firms (institutional investors) and other market users (including SMEs);
• Wealth management firms;
• Custodians; and
• Energy and other commodities players.

What are the MiFID II timelines?
The final text was published in the Official Journal on 12 June 2014 and entered into force on 2 July 2014. The regime – both the Directive and the Regulation – will apply from 3 January 2017. Member States will have 2 years to transpose the Directive into national law (the Regulation is automatically binding on Member States but there may still be some adjustments required at the national level to ensure that it is implemented properly). All level 2 measures – over 100 of them – need to be drafted and endorsed, as appropriate, ideally within 2 years (i.e. at least six months before the application date).

What should you be doing today?
Although we have to wait for the detailed implementing measures, with the adoption of the Level 1 text and the publication of the ESMA consultation and discussion papers, the general orientations of the reform are clear and you can start to get to grips with it now.
Over the coming months, you should consider MiFID II in light of the following:
Strategy: determine revenue/business structure impacts.
Revenue impacts: determine revenue/business structure impacts.
Governance: establish an internal framework to co-ordinate initial activity and get the right people involved.
High level planning: gauge key timings and ‘must do now’ activities plus preliminary IT budgeting.
Regulatory priority: look for inter-dependencies with other regulatory changes to prioritise key work-streams and identify implementation efficiencies.
Public policy: link business impact analyses into public/lobbying policy on implementing measures.
Education: deliver knowledge of the changing landscape early across your organisation.
