MiFID IIWhat to Expect and How to Prepare
MiFID II BACKGROUNDWHAT IS MiFID II?
In 2007 the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive
(MiFID) came into force focusing on the operation of
European equity markets.
Its objective was to increase integration and efficiency of
markets through the establishment of a harmonised
regulatory framework across the European Union (EU).
In 2010 the European Commission (EC) started a process to
review and update MiFID seeking to increase market stability
and confidence whilst also bolstering consumer protections.
WHAT ARE THE KEY OBJECTIVES?
The key objectives of the updated directive (MiFID II) and the
accompanying regulation (MiFIR) are:
• To ensure the fair, effective and safe operation of
financial markets.
• To address shortcomings in the initial MiFID framework.
• To expand the scope of MiFID into non-equity products.
• To enforce conduct of business rules for financial
service intermediaries.
• To form part Europe’s post-crisis response to the 2009
G20 commitment to reform markets.
WHO IS AFFECTED?
The updated directive applies to a broader range of financial industry players
providing investment services including:
• Investment Banks
• Portfolio Managers
• Brokers
• Market Makers 2

The Level 1 legislation set an enforcement deadline for
MiFID II and MiFIR of 3rd January 2017.
In September 2015, ESMA presented the final draft
Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and Implementing
Technical Standards (ITS) to the EC for ratification within 3
months.
The final Delegated Acts under the Directive are still
outstanding and are widely expected to be published in early
2016.
In November 2015, ESMA and the EC proposed that the
deadline for MiFID II should be delayed by one year to
allow for:
• Clarification of the final rules from ESMA and the National
Competent Authorities (NCAs), and
• Increased time for the implementation of technological
solutions by the industry.
Bloomberg anticipates an amendment to Level 1 text will
be required to formalise the new timeline.

MiFID IIHow Bloomberg Can Help
REFERENCE & MARKET DATA
Liquidity:
Instruments are subjected to differing transparency regimes depending upon their assessment of liquidity.
The less liquid the instrument is deemed to be, the less transparency it is subjected to. Illiquid bonds are not
subject to pre-trade reporting and all post-trade reporting is deferred.
Liquidity assessments for bonds and derivatives are performed using different taxonomies.
Bloomberg will collate, calculate and maintain the data used in transparency
determination
Taxonomy Stand For In Practice Applies To
COFIA Classification of Instrument
Approach
Instruments are classified into
homogenous categories i.e. Sovereign
Bond

REFERENCE & MARKET DATA
Consolidated Market Size:
MiFIR defines Systematic Internalisers as:
“investment firms which, on an organised, frequent, systematic and substantial basis, deal on their own account by
executing client orders outside a trading venue”
Systematic Internaliser status is measured by the same taxonomy as liquidity, i.e. IBIA for bonds and COFIA for derivatives
Bloomberg will capture the official consolidated market size that is used as the denominator in the SI determination
calculation for every instrument
Bloomberg can capture a potential SI’s market activity to be used as the numerator in the same SI determination calculation
In addition Bloomberg will capture the output of significant Regulated Markets, trading platforms, APAs and potentially the
proprietary output of SIs to create consolidated composite market data

MTF - ROUTING & EXECUTION
MiFID II defines Trading Venues
• MTFs exist under MiFID
• OTFs are a new entity introduced by MiFID II
• OTFs are distinguished from MTFs in that the OTF trading process may involve the use of discretionary rules
by the operator
• OTFs and MTFs must provide information to their NCA regarding rules, procedures, surveillance procedures
and membership

Regulation, Background and Impact
21
WHAT IS KNOWN
1. Certain IRS and CDS instruments will have to be traded
exclusively on regulated Trading Venues (MTF/OTF/RM)
2. Multilateral Systems must be regulated as Trading Venues hence
any instrument that is traded on a multilateral basis must be
executed on a Trading Venue
3. Derivatives executed on a Trading Venue are subject to:
• Pre-trade credit checks
• Tight timelines for clearing
WHAT ARE WE STILL WAITING FOR
The ‘Trading Obligation Procedure’. This is due to be released before
June 2016 and will list:
• The specific instruments that are required to be executed on
Trading Venues
• Treatment for trades that are Large in Scale and Package
Transactions
UNIVERSE OF PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE COVERED
ESMA will determine the products that must be executed on a Trading Venue
using the following criteria:
1. The product must be subject to the EMIR Clearing Mandate (see table)
2. It must be sufficiently liquid
3. It must be admitted to trading on at least one Trading Venue

BTCA - BEST EXECUTION
MiFID II Best Execution rules are more prescriptive than MiFID
An execution policy must be written to explain clearly, in sufficient detail and in a way that can be easily
understood by clients how orders will be executed by the firm for the client. Should include information
on different venues where investment firm executes its client orders and the factors affecting the choice
of execution venue.
Member States shall require that Investment Firms take all sufficient steps to obtain, when executing
orders, the best possible result for their clients taking into account price, costs, speed, likelihood of
execution and settlement, size, nature or any other consideration relevant to the execution of the order.
Investment Firms are required to publish, on an annual basis, information of the identity of top 5
execution venues or brokers and on the quality of execution against their stated policy.
27
BTCA - BEST EXECUTION
Information required be published to retail and professional clients
Per client type and class of financial instrument:
• Venue name and identifier (MIC)
• Volume of client orders executed on each venue as a percentage of total executed volume
• Number of client orders executed on each venue as a percentage of total executed orders
• Percentage of order that were passive and aggressive
• Percentage of orders that were directed to a specific venue by the client prior to execution of
the order
• Notification of whether it has executed an average of <1 trade per business day in the previous
year in a class of financial instrument
28
BTCA - BEST EXECUTION
Information required be published on the quality of execution
An annual publication of a summary of the analysis and conclusions drawn from all clients orders from
the previous year
• Explanation of the relative importance the firm gave to the execution factors of size, price, cost,
speed, likelihood of execution or any other consideration including qualitative factors when
making assessments of the quality of execution
• Description of any close links, conflicts of interest and common ownership with respect to any
execution venues used to execute orders
• Description of any specific arrangement with any execution venues regarding payments made
or received, discounts, rebates or non-monetary benefits received
• Explanation of the factors that led to a change in the list of execution venues listed in the firm’s
execution policy, if such a change occurred
29
BTCA - BEST EXECUTION
Information required be published on the quality of execution
An annual publication of a summary of the analysis and conclusions drawn from all clients orders from

• How order execution differs according to client categorisation, where the firm treats such
category of client differently and where it may affect the order execution arrangements
• When other criteria were given precedence over immediate price and cost when executing
retail client orders and how these other criteria were instrumental in delivering the best possible
result in terms of the total consideration to the client
• How the investment firm has used any data or tools relating to the quality of execution
• How the investment firm has used, if applicable, output of consolidated tape which will allow for
enhanced measures of execution quality or any other algorithms used to optimise and assess
execution performance

BVAULT - RECORD KEEPING & TRADE RECONSTRUCTION
MiFID II requires firms to keep records in order to reconstruct trades with
a view to allowing effective surveillance of market conduct
Record Keeping • Records shall be kept of all services, activities and transactions undertaken by investment
firms to support enforcement actions under MiFID, MiFIR and MAD/MAR
• Records include all emails, IM, recording of telephone conversations, transactions and
documents (even if it doesn’t lead to a transaction)
• Records will be kept for a minimum of 5 years (up to 7 years where a regulator specifies)
in a manner so that they cannot be modified or deleted’ (compliance storage)
Trade Reconstruction • Firms are required to provide transparency into trade life cycle – they must have trades
and communications (incl. voice) ‘readily available’ and provided upon client’s and
regulator’s request
Surveillance • Firms must strengthen conduct of business rules
• Firms are required to increase monitoring and surveillance on marketing and distribution
activities for prohibited or restricted financial instruments
• The technical guidelines from ESMA require firms to integrate surveillance platforms for
trades and communications to increase market transparency

I am a:
Off-shore managing
EU money
Example: EU€ money
→ US manager
EU manager most likely will
require off-shore manager to
conform to “use of dealing
commission directives.”
However, if the EU participant
contracts off-shore on a total
return structure, research
costs could be blurred.
EU manager will probably require off-shore
manager to show that they have:
1) Received from their executing brokers
and order execution policy;
2) Their executing brokers can demonstrate
that they are taking “sufficient steps” for best
execution. This may include supplying best
execution reports to show that they are
executing in their clients best interests.
I am a:
Off-shore executing
orders for a local
(only) instrument for
an EU decision maker
EU manager will have to
confirm to “use of dealing
commission” directives.
Although there is no formal reporting
obligation, EU manager will probably
pressure local broker to return electronic
trade reports in a format compatible with
manager’s new transaction reporting
systems.
EU manager will probably require off-shore
broker to:
1) Have an order execution policy;
2) Demonstrate “sufficient steps” were taken
for best execution. This may include
supplying best execution reports to show
that they are executing in their clients best
interests.
I am a:
Off-shore executing
orders for DUAL
LISTED instrument for
an EU decision maker
Example: EU order →
US execution
EU manager will have to
confirm to “use of dealing
commission” directives.
EU counterparty will probably require a LEI
from their off-shore executing broker for their
transaction reporting obligation.

I am a:

“create” soft dollars because
they have to confirm to “use

EU broker will probably require a LEI
form their off-shore counterparty for
their transaction reporting obligation.
