This short course has been designed to give you an overview of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). This is the first of a suite of e-learning on MiFID that we will be releasing during the course of this year.

Who is it for?

This course is designed to explain the context behind the implementation of MiFID and to give a broad overview of the key issues for investment firms. It will be of particular relevance for investment firms, particularly investment banks, securities and derivatives firms, asset managers and smaller firms giving investment advice. It will have limited relevance to firms undertaking insurance or mortgage activities.
