MiFID II Product Governance Rules - Practical Aspects & Recent Developments

Introduction

MiFID II has brought significant shifts in the area of product governance, placing greater emphasis on target market identification, product design and approval, distribution strategies, and ongoing product monitoring.

This virtual classroom seminar will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of these key aspects, enabling you to ensure regulatory compliance and investor protection effectively.

Product governance continues to be a key area of focus for regulators.

This is even more so with the implementation of the FCA Consumer duty in July 2023, which has obliged manufacturers and distributors to revaluate their approach to distribution and the needs of their target market.

The consequences of failing to take adequate steps to meet the requirements may result in investigation or enforcement action being taken, as well as the reputational risk to a firm.

The session will examine the recent developments in this area, including regulatory expectations for firms.

It will cover the practical aspects of product governance that firms need to have in place, and different approaches to meeting these as well as looking at case studies and providing an opportunity to ask questions.
