2. MiFID II: An Overview

MiFID II – background and context

The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is the framework of European Union (EU) legislation for:

 Investment intermediaries providing services to clients in relation to shares, bonds, units in collective investment schemes and derivatives (collectively ‘financial instruments’); and  The organised trading of financial instruments. The Directive sets out conduct of business and organisational requirements for investment firms, authorisation requirements for regulated markets, regulatory reporting to avoid market abuse, trade transparency obligations for shares, and rules on admission of financial instruments to trading. MiFID was applied in the UK from 1 November 2007 and has been in force for over six years, it is seen as a cornerstone of the EU’s regulation of financial markets and seeks to improve the competitiveness of EU financial markets by creating a single market for investment services and activities, and ensuring a high degree of harmonised protection for investors in financial instruments. MiFID is now being comprehensively revised to improve the functioning of financial markets in light of the financial crisis and to strengthen investor protection. It is currently anticipated the changes will take effect from 3 January 2017. On 20 October 2011, the European Commission (EC) adopted a legislative proposal for the revision of MiFID. The proposals take the form of a revised Directive and a new Regulation, which together are commonly referred to as ‘MiFID II’. The new proposals are designed to take into account developments in the trading environment since the implementation of MiFID I in 2007, including advances in technology and gaps in transparency to investors and regulators. It is also a response to the financial crisis. MiFID II is a Directive, but MiFIR is a Regulation. Most, and potentially all, of the implementing measures will be regulations. The difference being that Directives have to be transposed into national law, whereas Regulations are directly binding and Member States have to remove domestic provisions which conflict with the regulations.  The Directive – amends existing provisions on authorisation, conduct of business and organisational requirements for providers of investment services. These rules aim at strengthening the protection of investors, through the introduction of new requirements on product governance, independent investment advice and cross-selling, the extension of existing rules to structured deposits and the improvement of requirements in several areas, including – on the responsibilities of management bodies, inducements, information and reporting to clients, remuneration of staff and best execution. It also specifies requirements in relation to authorisation and the organisational rules applicable to different types of trading venues, among them a specific new type of trading venue, designed to cater specifically for SME issuers, and to providers of market data and other reporting services, as well as the powers to be granted by Member States to national competent authorities, including the sanctions for breaches of rules. In addition, the Directive contains the new regulatory tools intended to improve supervision;  The Regulation – sets out requirements on: the disclosure of data on trading activity to the public and transaction data to regulators and supervisors; the mandatory trading of derivatives on organised venues; product intervention powers to supervisors at EU and national level; removing barriers between trading venues and providers of clearing services to ensure more competition; and specific supervisory actions regarding positions in derivatives. MiFID II should not be underestimated – it is a wide ranging piece of legislation, and, depending on business model, could affect a wide range of a firm’s functions – from client services to IT and HR systems.

Overview of MiFID II

Since its implementation in 2007, MiFID has been the cornerstone of capital markets regulation in Europe. Since its inception, however, not all benefits have fed down to the end investor. MiFID II aims to address the shortcomings of the original Directive and to respond to lessons learned during the financial crisis. MiFID II is composed of: 1. MiFIR: A regulation addressing issues related to transparency and market infrastructure 2. MiFID II: A directive addressing issues related to business conduct

Transparency Investor Protection

Transaction Reporting

Authorisation, Branches & Passporting

MiFID II combined with EMIR completes the European response to the G20 commitment made in Pittsburgh in 2009 (and repeated in Washington in 2011) to manage the risks associated with OTC derivatives trades.

Overview of key changes

To illustrate the wide ranging scope of MiFID II, we have set out, at a high level, the key impact areas on asset, wealth, platforms and fund managers. Market structure and transparency requirements could lead to fragmentation of liquidity and increased cost

Commodity markets – position limits will apply but the methodology has yet to be worked out

High frequency trading definition proposed by ESMA will have a much wider impact than was originally envisaged

Ban on inducements will require managers to consider their processes and their adherence to the requirements

Market structure

Investor protection

The market structure changes are likely to introduce greater complexity for managers in terms of data points and feeds

Many member states are already intervening around products, but the directive will enhance the focus on this

There is likely to be further debate around the respective responsibilities of the product manufacturer and the distributor

Tightening of execution only regime through narrower definition of non complex products MiFID II

Systems and processes will need to be adjusted for both MiFID II and MAD, including trade and transaction reporting Consolidated tape provisions could deter some investment banks from making quotes, driving liquidity away from the market

Limitations on dark pools may reduce ability to transact large trades without suffering large market impact costs

Disclosure of cost requirements means that vertically integrated firms will need to make more of a separation between costs

Transparency

Reporting requirements are numerous - could cause Duplication with each other and With other Directives e.g. EMIR

Disclosure

Revised best execution provisions will require firms to annually publish their top five trading venues and repapering of client agreements may be needed

The intention of the directive is that the client facing firm must aggregate the cost of the product and provide a £/% amount Firms will need to identify and disclose conflicts of interest in sufficient detail to enable the client to make an informed decision

Investment advice

Investment advice under MiFID

MIFID investment advice involves the provision of personal recommendations to a customer, either upon the customer’s request or on the firm’s initiative, in respect of one or more transactions relating to MiFID financial instruments. So, for example, if a firm provides recommendations to the public generally this will not normally be a personal recommendation. Our COBS suitability rules only apply where a personal recommendation is made. A personal recommendation is defined in our Handbook glossary and follows the MiFID definition. It comprises three main elements:

 There must be a recommendation that is made to a person in their capacity as an investor or potential investor, or in their capacity as an agent for an investor or personal investor;  The recommendation must be presented as suitable for the person to whom it is made or based on the investor’s circumstances; and  The recommendation must relate to taking certain steps in respect of a particular investment

Investment advice under MiFID (2)

FCA definition of personal recommendation: “a recommendation that is advice on investments, advice on conversion or transfer of pension benefits, or advice on a home finance transaction and is presented as suitable for the person to whom it is made, or is based on a consideration of the circumstances of that person. A recommendation is not a personal recommendation if it is issued exclusively through distribution channels or to the public”

MiFID defines investment advice as the provision or personal recommendations to a client, either on request or at the initiative of the investment firm, in respect of one or more transactions relating to financial instruments (Article 4(1)(4)). The MiFID Implementing Directive further specifies that “a recommendation is not a personal recommendation if it is issued exclusively through distribution channels or to the public (Article 52, last subparagraph). See also: • CESR Q&A on “Understanding the definition of advice under MiFID” • CESR Technical Advice to the Commission in the context of the MiFID I review 2010 • MiFID II confirms the definition of investment advice outlined in Article 4(1)(4) of MiFID I In its Final Advice to the Commission, ESMA states that it does not consider that issuing a recommendation through a distribution channel to a wide group is necessarily an indication that the recommendation is not a personal recommendation and confirms that advice provided through internet based channels needs further consideration at Level 3. In this context, it recommended that “through distribution channels” be removed from the MiFID II definition of investment advice. MIFID II Article 4(1)(4): “investment advice” means the provision of personal recommendations to a client, either upon its request or at the initiative of the investment firm, in respect of one or more transactions relating to financial instruments. Article 52 of the Implementing Directive states that for the purposes of “investment advice”, a personal recommendation is a recommendation that is made to a person in his capacity as an investor or potential investor, or in his capacity as an agent for an investor or potential investor. That recommendation must be presented as suitable for that person or must be based on a consideration of the circumstances of that person, and must constitute a recommendation to take one fo the following sets of steps: (a) To buy, sell, subscribe for, exchange, redeem, hold or underwrite a particular financial instrument; (b) To exercise or not to exercise any right conferred by a particular financial instrument to buy, sell, subscribe for, exchange, or redeem a financial instrument. A recommendation is not a personal recommendation if it is issued exclusively through distribution channels or to the public.” © 2015 KPMG LLP, a UK limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affilia ted with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Independence

FCA definition

Independent advice: a personal recommendation to a retail client in relation to a retail investment product where the personal recommendation provided meets the requirements of the rule on independent advice (COBS 6.2A.3R)

COBS 6.2A.3R (1) A firm must not hold itself out to a retail client as acting independently unless the only personal recommendations in relation to retail investment products it offers to that retail client are: (a) Based on a comprehensive and fair analysis of the relevant market; and (b) Unbiased and unrestricted. (2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to group personal pension schemes if a firm discloses information to a client in accordance with the rule on group personal pension schemes (COBS 6.3.21R)

15

ESMA definition

An investment firm informing a client that investment advice is provided on an independent basis shall define and implement a selection process to assess and compare a sufficient range of financial instruments available on the market.

That selection process should include all of the following elements: i. ii. iii. iv. v.

A diversified selection of financial instruments by type, issuer or product provider, which is not limited to financial instruments issued or provided by the investment firm itself of by entities having close links or other relevant close legal or economic relationship with the investment firm should be considered; The number and variety of financial instruments considered should be proportionate to the scope of advice services offered by the independent investment adviser The number and variety of financial instruments considered is adequately representative of financial instruments available on the market; The quantity of financial instruments issued by the investment firm itself or by entities closely linked to the investment firm itself is proportionate to the total amount of financial instruments considered; and The criteria for comparing the various financial instruments should include all relevant aspects such as risks, costs and complexity as well as the characteristics of the investment firm’s clients, and should ensure that neither the selection of the instruments that may be recommended nor the recommendations that are made to the client are biased

Suitability

Suitability under MiFID I

Article 35 of the MiFID Implementing Directive requires: (1) Member States to ensure that investment firms obtain from clients or potential clients such information as necessary for the firm to understand the essential facts about the client and to have a reasonable basis for believing, giving due consideration to the nature and extent of the service provided, that the specific transaction to be recommended, or entered into in the course of providing a portfolio management service, satisfies the following criteria: (a) It meets the investment objectives of the client in question; (b) It is such that the client is financially able to bear any related investment risks consistent with his investment objectives; (c) It is such that the client has the necessary experience and knowledge in order to understand the risks involved in the transaction or in the management of his portfolio. (2) Where an investment firm provides an investment service to a professional client it shall be entitled to assume that, in relation to the products, transactions and services for which it is so classified, the client has the necessary level of experience and knowledge for the purposes of paragraph 1(c). Where that investment service consists in the provision of investment advice to a professional client covered by Section 1 of Annex II to Directive 2004/39/EC, the investment firm shall be entitled to assume for the purposes of paragraph 1(b) that the client is able financially to bear any related investment risks consistent with the investment objectives of that client. (3) The information regarding the financial situation of the client or potential client shall include, where relevant, information on the source and extent of his regular income, his assets, including liquid assets, investments and real property, and his regular financial commitments. (4) The information regarding the investment objectives of the client or potential client shall include, where relevant, information on the length of time for which the client wishes to hold the investment, his preferences regarding risk taking, his risk profile, and the purposes of the investment. (5) Where, when providing the investment service of investment advice or portfolio management, an investment firm does not obtain the information required under Article 19(4) of Directive 2004/39/EC, the firm shall not recommend investment services or financial instruments to the client or potential client.

Complex/non complex and appropriateness

Complex/non-complex

Article 25(4) MiFID II: Member states shall allow investment firms when providing investment services that only consist of execution or reception and transmission of client orders with or without ancillary services excluding the granting of credits or loans as specified in Section B.1 of Annex I that do not comprise of existing credit limits of loans, current accounts and overdraft facilities of clients, to provide those investment services to their clients without the need to obtain the information or make the determination provided for in paragraph 3 where all of the following conditions are met: (a) The services relate to any of the following financial instruments (i)

Shares admitted to trading on a regulated market or on an equivalent third country market or on a MTF, where those are shares in companies, and excluding shares in non-UCITS collective investment undertakings and shares that embed a derivative;

(ii) Bonds or other forms of securitised debt admitted to trading on a regulated market or on an equivalent third country market or on a MTF; excluding those that embed a derivative or incorporate a structure which makes it difficult for the client to understand the risk involved; (iii) Money market instruments, excluding those that embed a derivative or incorporate a structure which makes it difficult for the client to understand the risk involved; (iv) Shares or units in UCITS, excluding structured UCITS as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 36(1) of Regulation EU No 583/2010; (v) Structured deposits, excluding those that incorporate a structure which makes it difficult for the client to understand the risk of return or the cost of exiting the product before term; (vi) Other non-complex financial instruments for the purpose of this paragraph (b) The service is provided at the initiative of the client or potential client; (c) The client or potential client has been clearly informed that in the provision of that service the investment firm is not required to assess the appropriateness of the financial instrument or service provided or offered and that therefore he does not benefit from the corresponding protection of the relevant conduct of business rules. Such a warning may be provided via a standardised format; (d) The investment firm complies with its obligations under Article 23

Method behind the madness?

Article 38 of the MiFID Implementing Directive sets out that:

A financial instrument which is not specified in the first indent of Article 19(6) of Directive 2004/39/EC shall be considered as non-complex if it satisfies the following criteria: (a) It does not fall within Article 4(1)(18)(c) of, or points (4) to (10) of Section C to Annex I to, Directive 2004/39/EC; (b) There are frequent opportunities to dispose of, redeem, or otherwise realise that instrument at prices that are publicly available to market participants and that are either market prices or prices made available, or validated, by valuation systems independent of the issuer; (c) It does not involve any actual or potential liability for the client that exceeds the cost of acquiring the instrument; (d) Adequately comprehensive information on its characteristic is publicly available and is likely to be readily understood so as to enable the average retail client to make an informed judgement as to whether to enter into a transaction in that instrument. ESMA’s technical advice to the EU Commission recommended that an instrument not included explicitly in Article 25(4)(a) of MiFID II would need to meet two additional criteria to the above in order to be considered non-complex

ESMA’s technical advice on the additional criteria: i.

ii.

It does not incorporate a clause, condition or trigger that could fundamentally alter the nature or risk of the investment or pay out profile. This would include, for example, investments that incorporate a right to convert the instrument into a different investment; and It does not include any explicit or implicit exit charges that have the effect of making the investment illiquid even though technically frequent opportunities to dispose or redeem it would be possible

ESMA also recommended that the EU Commission clarifies that the specific financial instruments that are excluded from the noncomplex financial instruments described in Article 25(4)(a) of MiFID II cannot then be assessed against the criteria for the assessment of other non-complex financial instruments in accordance with Article 25(4)(a)(vi) of MiFID II and they should be considered complex.
