Promotion of Financial Products – a Regulatory Approach

Regulators around the world have struggled to improve the accuracy, clarity and fairness of financial advertising. In one sense, marketing and compliance as subjects do not fit. One is dynamic and seeks new media and ideas all the time while the other lays down almost universal standards into which marketeers have to fit their ideas. This course tries to bridge the gap, drawing on practical examples where things have not always gone as well as they might have done. The core rules here are in MiFID 1 and its Implementing Directive, soon to be replaced if largely reproduced in MiFID 2. We will look also at how some regulators have approach digital media and some of the issues to which it gives rise.

Expected Outcomes:

  • Learning how MiFID regulates promotions
  • The ability to apply fair, clear and not misleading to practical problems
  • Gaining an understanding of the different MiFID elements
  • Learning to review promotions and their impact
  • Having some ideas about how one can manage the risks involved

Seminar Content:

  • What is a promotion and the extent to which it matters
  • Fair, clear and not misleading under MiFID
  • Retail, professional and eligible counterparties
  • Communications to professional advisers
  • Compulsory content about capital and income risk
  • Past performance
  • Other formality requirements of MiFID
  • The application of the rules to digital media
  • Systems and controls as applied to promotions

Who should attend:

Marketing, Compliance, Risk Management, Management, and Technical. People involved in the task of promoting financial products and in need to understand the different roles and responsibilities, as well as their regulatory constraints.

Did you know?

We carve pumpkins because Irish immigrants got lazy (in a good way)
Original jack-o’-lanterns? Turnips. Hard, small, and painful to carve. When Irish immigrants arrived in America, they found pumpkins — big, soft, abundant — and switched. The legend of “Stingy Jack” (a ghost doomed to wander with a lantern) came with them… and stuck.
