The future of investing in Europe's market after MiFID
Chris Skinner
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 organizational, 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 implication. 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 organizations 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
"This is a valuable and worthwhile endeavour to explain the implications, benefits and opportunities of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, and we believe is an important contribution to our European endeavours."
--The European Commission.
