FCA(英国金融行為監督機構)、MiFID II(第2次金融商品市場指令)に基づく認可の申請・修正に関するステートメントを公表


Default: Change to:


MiFID II widens the scope of MiFID by capturing some financial entities that did not previously require authorisation. Some firms who are already authorised may also need new authorisations or a Variation of Permission (VoP) to carry out activities from next year.


FCA wants to highlight that some proprietary traders who are not authorised may need to be authorised under MiFID II.

For example, if you are an unregulated proprietary trader who uses a form of direct electronic access provided by a regulated firm to access trading venues (a ‘DEA client’), you may need authorisation from 3 January 2018. You need to confirm urgently whether you will need authorisation and, if so, make an application.

If you are a firm or venue providing your clients with direct electronic access to trading venues (a ‘DEA provider’) you will have a duty under MiFID II to carry out due diligence on your prospective DEA clients. You should therefore work closely with your clients to ensure they are aware of the potential need to be authorised and be authorised on time.
