The EIMF Live Online Learning Experience
EIMF subject-matter experts deliver engaging and interactive courses across a broad spectrum of areas, that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own chosen environment.
Everyone wants to know how to put their product or service out in front of future customers in a multi-channel world. It is also a world where the European Securities and Markets Authority and CySEC have already intervened in a significant way to dictate the forms of marketing allowed in the Contracts for Differences market.
Marketing regulation is not confined to financial services regulators. The Cyprus Advertising Regulatory Organization (CARO) has its own rules. All of these regimes are modelled around the “fair, clear and not misleading” found in MiFID 2. That directive and its subordinate legislation create a common financial promotions regime for Europe. This in turn has created a common industry involved in trying to reconcile compliance rules designed for a static advertising world with the demands of modern media.
Firms selling complex products without recommending them almost invariably must face up to a need to carry out appropriateness testing. Knowing when and how to do this and then appreciating what should be done with the results is a key task for non-advisory firms.
