MiFID Connect

MIFID Connect is a joint project designed to support member firms and simplify the UK implementation of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). Statutory implementation in the UK will be carried through by the HM Treasury and by the FSA making rules in its handbook. The directive will have a major impact on current market and trading practice as well as upon the way in which the financial service sector is currently regulated. It will also require firms to introduce a whole series of changes to their systems, documentation and order-handling procedures.

The following organisation belong to MiFID Connect: The Association of British Insurers (ABI), The Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers (APCIMS), Association of Foreign Banks (AFB), The Bond Market Association, the British Bankers’ Association (BBA), Building Societies Association (BSA), the Futures and Options Association (FOA), The International Capital Market Association (ICMA), Investment Management Association (IMA), The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and the London Investment Banking Association (LIBA)
