Regulations on Markets in Financial Instruments

The Directive 2014/65 on Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, known as MiFID II, establishes the conditions to provide investment services in the European Union while strengthening investor protection requirements, among others.

In terms of investor protection, MiFID II requires investment firms to classify their clients, perform assessment of suitability and appropriateness tests, depending on the client classification and service provided, implement specific policies, such as conflict of interest policy, and provide adequate level of information to clients.
