The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is the
biggest change programme Europe's capital markets have ever
attempted. It takes all the protection away from Europe's
Stock Exchanges and forces investment banks, brokers and dealers to
guarantee best execution. The organisational, process and
technology changes demanded by the MiFID are massive.
In order to understand these challenges, industry commentator
Chris Skinner has gathered the views of Europe's leading
figures in the MiFID community to discuss its implications. From an
introduction from the European Business School and European
Commission, through the views of leaders in the key constituencies
of MiFID Connect and the MiFID Joint Working Group, through to
organisations supporting the markets such as Reuters and SWIFT,
this book provides a 360-degree perspective of the world of
investing in Europe's markets after the MiFID
implementation.
Anyone who has anything to do with dealing, trading and
investing in European equities and instruments will find this book
an essential guide to the markets now and into the future. With
this book as their guide, readers will understand:
* The key MiFID business issues
* How to implement the directive
* How it will affect the markets once it comes into
force
