MiFID II is an extensive and far-reaching directive, having a profound impact on investment services across the EU. With major amendments to compliance standards, and with clarification on many points still needed, it's no surprise to see many are struggling to cope with the overhaul in anticipation of its 3rd January 2018 implementation date.

MiFID II's financial market regulations go far beyond that of MiFID. There are a number of meaures introduced under MiFID, one of which is the requirement for financial institutions and intermediaries to provide their investors with detailed information on costs and charges occurring over the course of their investments. This information has to be prepared before the investment—or 'ex-ante'—in order to call attention to initial, ongoing and exit costs, as well as afterwards—'ex-post'—to determine the influence these costs have on the return on the investment.

In this webinar, we ask industry experts for their opinion on the challenges occurring with MiFID II cost transparency:

• How does MiFID II cost-transparency influence the process of client advice?

• Do financial institutions have the ability to calculate all costs expected from the investment ex-ante?

• Are flat-fees a cost-effective alternative?

• Can the obligation for MiFID II cost transparency be turned into a competitive advantage?
