The document discusses the upcoming changes from MiFID to MiFID II and the need for financial institutions to prepare. MiFID II will significantly broaden the scope of the original MiFID directive and introduce stricter requirements around areas like transparency, reporting, and investor protection. It will require major changes to infrastructure, business models, and data governance. Financial institutions should start assessing the impacts and ensuring compliance with the new regulations, which take effect in January 2017. They need to integrate preparation for MiFID II into a unified regulatory change program to avoid duplication of efforts across different regulations.

- 2. 2 MiFID II | Time to get prepared A step closer to the reality The revision of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive represents one of the centerpieces of financial markets reform across a multitude of areas, requiring not only major implementation efforts, but also a re-assessment of business models. With the intention to boost competition, promote transparency and encourage financial stability, MiFID II is the cornerstone of multiple regulations that are being implemented at a global, European or national level. Beyond the extension of most of the requirements to other asset classes, we can notice the following evolutions between MiFID and the reviewed directive: Market Structure | Introduces new market structures with the addition of Organized Trading Facilities (OTF), limitation on trading on dark pools, eligible derivatives to be traded on regulated trading venues only OTC Derivatives | Move to exchanges or electronic trading platforms where appropriate, OTC Derivatives subject to EMIR clearing obligations Transparency and Reporting | Expands the needs for transparency and reporting with the inclusion of other asset classes and new reporting requirements tailored to asset classes Investor Protection | Aims to enhance investor protection through upgraded selling rules and the use of pre-contractual documentation Organizational requirements | Stipulates the make up of boards and management committees, and their organizational responsibilities, strengthens internal compliance functions Third Country Access | Sets out rules for those outside the EU to do business with it Position Limits | Lays out restrictions and position limits as well as details on sanctions Within this complexity and broad scope, financial institutions need to start assessing impacts to determine efforts, budgets, roadmaps and ensure that their strategy and organization are aligned for compliance by January 2017 Financial institutions should think about integrating MiFID II under a unique regulatory change program allowing to manage extraterritoriality impacts, ensure consistent and efficient implementation and avoid duplication of efforts
