MiFID II: Product Governance Requirements, Suitability and Appropriateness

Traditionally, regulators around the world focused on the way in which financial services products were sold. They assumed that if the sales process worked, everything would be well. Then, a stream of misselling scandals convinced the authorities and legislators in different parts of Europe and at EU level that it was the products that did most of the damage. MiFID 2 builds on the experience of a number of financial centres, such as the UK, which have come to focus as the way products are built and reviewed and the governance structures required to make them safe. We will be tackling the MiFID 2 rules and ESMA materials on product governance, using the UK guidance to help us build and review products safely.

Seminar Content:

  • MiFID 2 and other ESMA materials
  • Identification of target markets
  • Design
  • Stress testing
  • Product governance
  • Managing distribution types and channels
  • Developing fair, clear and not misleading material about the product
  • Reviewing what happened

Who should attend:

Anyone involved in product design, risk management, compliance and corporate governance should attend. Also people involved in marketing coming because they will be able to see how their role fits within product governance framework.

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.
