Broadridge Financial Solutions has launched a new solution to support investment firms with the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) ex-post reporting obligations outlined under Article 50 of the delegation regulation.
This solution, which is part of a suite of MiFID II services developed by Broadridge’s Fund Assist business, will aggregate and process investor and product data, calculate the personalised cost information and produce the end investor statements.
According to Broadridge, the highly automated, straight-through process will help enable investment firms to meet their regulatory obligations and deliver investor statements ahead of the regulation deadline.
Under Article 50 of the MiFID delegated regulation, an investment firm is obliged to provide annual ex-post information about all costs and charges related to both the financial instruments and investment services provided to their clients.
The information for this year must be provided to clients no later than the end of April next year and must be personalised, based on actual incurred costs and show the cumulative effect that these costs have on the return on investment.
Patricia Rosch, president of Broadridge’s international investor communication solutions business, said: “MiFID II compliance adds to the scale and complexity of regulatory change affecting firms operating in European jurisdictions.”
“Delivering proprietary end-to-end solutions, based on advanced technology and combined with our exceptional depth of regulatory expertise, helps investment firms manage this highly complex regulatory issue and be prepared to capitalise on what’s next.”
