Broadridge Launches MiFID II Article 50 Reporting Solution

MiFIDArticle 50 of the MiFID Delegated Regulation requires investment firms 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 calendar year 2018 must be provided to clients no later than the end of April 2019 and must be personalized, 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, commented:

“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 capitalize on what’s next.”
