MiFID II Resources

A wide universe of market participants will shortly be required to have an LEI under forthcoming European regulation; this will apply to non-EU entities in many cases. Other regulators, including those in the US and Asia-Pacific, already require market participants to obtain LEIs. Firms large and small need to act now to ensure they comply.

In preparation for the implementation of MiFID II, ASIFMA has developed an analysis that summarises how various types of firms are impacted by certain MiFID II provisions in Asia.

This educational document provides our members with a structured approach to understanding the post-trade transparency (PTT) obligations defined under Article 6, 10, 20, and 21 of MiFIR. This document also highlights the key challenges and practical implementation options for the impacted qualifying investment firms to consider as they progress with plans to be MiFID II compliant.

In preparation for the implementation of MiFID II in January 2018, we have compiled a range of materials and information intended to help industry professionals. Additional documents and updates will be added in the coming weeks and months.
