MiFID II (the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and MiFIR (the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation) came into effect on 3 January 2018.
MiFID II and MiFIR together govern all aspects of the financial markets, including trading and reporting of financial instruments. Transaction reporting obligations are a large part of the regulatory regime and are contained in MiFIR. TRAction provides a full-service MiFIR solution that can simplify your transaction reporting requirements. Contact us if you would like to discuss your transaction reporting obligations.
