MiFID 2 Update- Impact on US Managers John Aherne A&L Goodbody 22 irishfunds.ie
Background and overview MiFID II: taking effect from 3 January 2008 Central measure for regulation of investment firms conducting investment services and markets in the EU Seeks to make financial markets in Europe more resilient, transparent and investor-friendly in response to the financial crisis UCITS management companies/alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) out of scope when managing and distributing UCITS/AIFs US based asset managers, with no EU establishment, generally out of scope but potential indirect impacts More complicated where US based manager is a delegate of an EU MiFID firm and there is a contractual look through approach 23 irishfunds.ie
Investment research Best execution Transaction reporting Taping & Recordkeeping Advisory Delegation from EU MiFID firm EU MiFID firm Distribution Product governance Costs transparency Commissions Post-trade transparency Position limits Dark pools double volume cap Direct market access Trade on EU Trading Venues Trade with EU CPs Transaction reporting Equities/on exchange Repapering broker terms MAIN-37745394-1 24 irishfunds.ie
Distribution Product governance and distribution Scope: collaboration with a MiFID manufacturer/sales or marketing via an EU MiFID distributor Target market Product approval and oversight framework Information sharing and reporting (negative target market) EU distributor remuneration models - Prohibition for certain segments (independent advice and managed) - More onerous thresholds and disclosure for other commissions on other channels Costs transparency - Point of sale and ongoing reporting including breakdown of product costs - Transaction costs MAIN-37745394-1 25 irishfunds.ie
Investment research Buy-side: prohibition on receiving inducements in the form of research leads to unbundling costs of execution and research EU Sell-side: obligation to separate the costs Hard dollar approach: options for EU investment managers: client funded research payment account funded from P&L Impact for US investment managers/eu interactions with US sell-side - Outsourcing requirements - US broker dealers/investment advice issue - Note position on direct delegation from an Irish AIFM/UCITS manco, not in scope! MAIN-37745394-1 26 irishfunds.ie
Trading/Markets issues Some key areas to flag: Best execution Transaction reporting (T+1); enhanced information required from non- EU firms when trading in EU instruments with an EU broker/counterparty or on an EU trading venue Impacts on OTC trading and dark pool trading Price discovery: expansion pre/post trade transparency to fixed income, ETFs and derivatives Position limits for commodity trading Direct market access via EU brokers MAIN-37745394-1 27 irishfunds.ie
Access to EU capital Third country access to EU customers (e.g. via managed accounts) Set up a Branch to access all customer types locally and passport services to wholesale clients Register with ESMA to provide investment services without having an establishment subject to ESMA equivalence assessment Rely on reverse solicitation ( exclusive initiative of the client test) National regimes if available (e.g. Ireland: preserves overseas persons exemption regime) AIF/UCITS vehicles with a delegated services model remain the optimal models MAIN-37745394-1 28 irishfunds.ie
