MiFID II: Impact of the new European Regulations

£0.00

This report highlights certain incursions that MiFID II may cause based on the amendments to MiFID, as outlined in the EC consultation paper. A salient change is that legitimate hedging of positions by corporate and institutional investors will become more expensive and impact liquidity levels.

The report tackles the transparency requirements that the MiFID consultation suggests — highlighting that its universal approach cannot be applied to all assets — as many of the instruments it covers do not share the same fungibility as, for example, equities. The report points out that it is not clear how this rigid approach to transparency will be measured and how such an approach will not be able to adjust to market movements that are guaranteed certain to happen.
