Standard life: MiFID II - are you ready?

At the beginning of 2018, MiFID II will transform the way financial markets operate, meaning significant changes for advice businesses. The support your platform provider can offer will prove essential in shaping how well you respond.

MiFID II, or to give it its full name – the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, aims to:

  • Make financial markets more efficient and resilient 
  • Improve transparency of both equity and non-equity markets
  • Strengthen investor protection and reinforce supervisory powers 

Standard Life believe platforms are a key strategic enabler in removing complexity to help deliver more scalable and sustainable investment outcomes for clients.

Please visit Standard Life’s website, www.standardlifeadviser.co.uk, to find out more about MiFID II and how their platforms can support your business.
