A few thousand pages, that’s how voluminous the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and its related regulations and guidance documents are. MiFID II aims to make Europe’s financial markets more transparent and protect investors. All financial institutions must comply with MiFID II if they wish to offer investment products or ancillary services. How do you navigate through all these rules? And do they all apply to your working environment?
In this course, we will introduce you to the key aspects of MiFID II that apply to investment firms and financial markets. This includes investment advice and asset management, but also execution-only services and trading on exchanges. It also discusses the investor information requirements of other regulations. We cover eight key topics. By the end of the course, you will know what the rules are in these areas and how to comply with them in practice.
MiFID II applies to all parties engaged in investment services and activities, from banks and asset managers to exchanges and trading venues. This awareness e-learning is therefore relevant to all professionals working for European parties active in the trading of financial instruments.
This is an e-learning at HBO (higher vocational education) level. Specific knowledge is not required, but we do assume that you have basic knowledge of financial services.
The themes covered in this training are:
Upon completion of this training, you will be able to determine – for each of the topics – how to act or not to act in simple situations.
We start each topic with a short case study and end with an example. In the case study, we ask you to list your thoughts on the subject. You can see this case as a kind of baseline measurement. It helps you to get to grips with the subject and to test what you already know about it. In the feedback we give a first direction for the elaboration.
Each topic ends with an assessment of the situation. Again, you will receive feedback indicating what MiFID II says about the topic and giving an assessment of the situation. These situations allow you to test your knowledge and understanding of the material.
You will complete this course with a test in the learning environment. To assess whether you are ready to take the test, you can answer the practice questions first. You can also take repetitions in the learning environment.
After passing the test, you can download your personal certificate from the learning environment.
The MiFID II Awareness course can be completed in our online learning environment, wherever and whenever it suits you. The e-learning course takes an average of two to three hours to complete, depending on your prior knowledge.
