Welcome to 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. - more >>>
