Invest Europe-PAE

Response to EC Consultation on MiFID ii/MiFIR

Positions & consultation responses

18 May 2020

In this response we call the European Commission to introduce changes to its securities markets framework as part of its upcoming review, in particular when it comes to investor protection rules. Our main request is the reconsideration of the treatment of "sophisticated investors", such as HNWIs, which have so far been considered as retail clients under EU law.
