ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
Investment information providers such as brokers, tied agents and other individuals providing services to clients on behalf of a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) must comply with the Circular C181 of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). According to the said Circular, the investment information providers must be authorised by CySEC and have the specialised knowledge to provide information to clients regarding financial instruments, structured deposits, investment services or ancillary services.
The responsibilities and compliance obligations assigned to investment information providers have been greatly expanded, exacerbating the challenges they face in their professional roles. Further to ESMA’s publication of the paper ESMA/2015/1886 – Guidelines for the assessment of knowledge and competence (‘the Guidelines’), Member States shall require investment firms to ensure and demonstrate to competent authorities on request that natural persons giving investment advice or providing information about financial instruments, investment services or ancillary services to clients on behalf of the investment firm possess the necessary knowledge and competence.
This course aims to provide knowledge and competence to staff providing investment information about financial instruments, structured deposits, investment services or ancillary services to clients. It will also provide a broad introduction to the financial services sector, through an in-depth coverage of the fundamental financial principles and products.
