A practical, one-day workshop to help you prepare for regulatory change and identify opportunities for the future
In a fast moving world, keeping fully up to date with regulatory change is a growing challenge. The purpose of this one-day workshop is to explore the background and proposals for both the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive amendments (MiFID2) and the new Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).
MiFID is designed to regulate the investment management industry and will involve implications for a wide range of related services. It is essential you understand the forthcoming changes which represent the outcome of the post-implementation review that was predetermined when MiFID was originally introduced in November 2007.
AIFMD is the EU means of filling the perceived gap left between MiFID and UCITS that will apply from mid 2013. The new set of rules will apply to managers of all non-UCITS investment funds. While many aspects of AIFMD are borrowed from previous directives, its impact will be widespread.
Key benefits of attending:
- Gain a greater understanding of the direct and indirect impact of MiFID 2 on financial services firms
- Understand the impact of AIFMD on depositaries, operators of non-UCITS funds and MiFID firms
- Learn about the expectations for the future of off-shore funds
- Explore the ESAs’ role in drafting and overseeing regulation
- Hear about the intentions of the European Commission
Who should attend?
This workshop will be of particular interest to:
Directors, senior executives, managers and compliance professionals of banks, depositaries, brokers and fund management groups, including managers of non-UCITS funds.
