What Is MiFID II?

Explains the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II, which regulates investment firms and trading venues to protect investors and boost transparency.

What MiFID II Requires of You

Outlines your everyday MiFID II duties: suitability checks, best execution, clear client disclosures, and accurate record-keeping when advising or trading.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

MiFID II sets the rules for how investment firms across the EU handle trading, advice, and client relationships, and the requirements touch nearly everyone in the business, from front-office staff to compliance teams. When firms get it wrong, they risk regulatory fines, suspended activities, and the loss of client trust that’s hard to win back. This training helps employees understand their obligations around best execution, client classification, transparency, and record-keeping, so the firm stays compliant and treats clients fairly. Getting these essentials right means fewer compliance gaps, smoother regulatory reviews, and a reputation clients and supervisors can rely on.
