| MiFID will fundamentally change the way investment advice is handled and how transactions are executed. Its impact is far-reaching, affecting almost every aspect of how firms trade.
For some companies, MiFID will increase competition. For others it will open up new revenue opportunities. But one thing is clear – financial services companies cannot afford to stand still. The clock to November 2007 is ticking down. Despite the uncertainties that still exist, organisations must take the first steps on their journey to MiFID compliance now.
