BIA Webinar: A Practical Guide to MiFID II

Partner and Co-Founder Amber Fennell participated in a BIA Webinar on preparing for the introduction of a revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) which comes into effect on 3 January 2018.

The biggest change under the new rules will be the requirement for fund management companies to explain clearly to their investors how much of their money is spent on research. This will inevitably impact how companies in the healthcare sector communicate with investors.
