Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II)
Following the UK’s exit from the EU1, the EU MiFID framework has been implemented into UK by a number of different provisions (e.g UK MiFID, UK MiFIR). The latest of these is the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA 2023) which provides for the eventual revocation of on-shored EU financial services regulations. FSMA 2023 makes certain transitional amendments (some of which are already in force) to on-shored EU financial services regulations, and these amendments will be in force until the EU MiFID framework is eventually revoked/replaced. At the moment the majority of UK MiFID and UK MIFIR will apply until amended.
UK MiFID II rules and UK MiFIR set out requirements relating, among other things, to:
- conditions and procedures for authorisation
- organisational requirements, including rules on handling of client assets
- conduct of business requirements
- pre and post trade transparency requirements when dealing over-the-counter in financial instruments
- transaction reporting
