Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is the biggest change programme Europe’s capital markets have ever attempted. It takes all the protection away from Europe’s Stock Exchanges and forces investment banks, brokers and dealers to guarantee best execution. The organisational, process and technology changes demanded by the MiFID are massive. In order to understand these challenges, industry commentator Chris Skinner has gathered the views of Europe’s leading figures in the MiFID community to discuss its implications. From an introduction from the European Business School and European Commission, through the views of leaders in the key constituencies of MiFID Connect and the MiFID Joint Working Group, through to organisations supporting the markets such as Reuters and SWIFT, this book provides a 360-degree perspective of the world of investing in Europe’s markets after the MiFID implementation. Anyone who has anything to do with dealing, trading and investing in European equities and instruments will find this book an essential guide to the markets now and into the future. With this book as their guide, readers will understand: • The key MiFID business issues • How to implement the directive • How it will affect the markets once it comes into force

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is a detailed re-writing of the regulation of capital markets. To the extent those rules permit, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) is also introducing high-level 'principles-based regulation'. In response to this, Paul Nelson presents practical guidance on the regulation of the capital markets, ranging from new issues and IPOs to investment banking, broker-dealing and asset management. All laws and rules relevant to the regulation of the capital markets are explained and put into context within the economic operation of markets, institutions and products, the European Single Market, the FSA's policies and objectives, the historical evolution of the regulations and the general civil and criminal law. Drawing on 30 years' experience as a practitioner, and referring to a vast range of supporting materials, the author provides an insightful analysis and critique of the rules, the rule makers and the institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book Accounting for financial instruments under Ind AS is generally complex. In India, we do not have much of a history of a comprehensive and robust accounting framework for financial instruments. Historically, accounting for financial instruments is primarily based on form rather than the contractual terms of instruments. Focus on accounting for financial instruments started only since 2007. Owing to global financial crisis which raised issues regarding accounting treatment of financial instruments, various accounting standards setting bodies examined the robustness of accounting for financial instruments. Further, Ind AS transition resulted in high-quality, principles-based, globally comparable financial reporting of large Indian companies. Accounting for financial instruments under Ind AS is quite robust and comprehensive. Towards this end, this book attempts to provide insights and in-depth analysis on interpretative issues and complex principles in the Ind ASs dealing with financial instruments. The requirements of Ind AS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation, Ind AS 109, Financial instruments, and Ind AS 107 Financial instruments: Disclosures are extensively dealt with. There are separate chapters addressing: Scope of the requirements. Debt/equity classification. Classification. Recognition and Derecognition. Subsequent measurement. Fair values and impairment. Hedge accounting. Presentation and Disclosures. Implications on key provisions of Companies Act, 2013. ICAI's Guidance Note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts. This book is intended to help the companies to identify Ind AS requirements that are relevant to them and evaluate various aspects of financial instruments accounting. The book would be an immensely useful referencer for professionals, practitioners and corporates. Key features - To simplify the reading experience, the chapters include a brief, easy to understand, summary of the relevant topic, followed by Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the chapter. - Covers examples-based illustrations of complex topics. - Covers case studies on hedge accounting with journal entries, guidance for hedge documentation and effectiveness testing. - Includes real life extracts of disclosures of financial instruments. - Covers the amendment related to LIBOR and other interbank offered rates ('IBORs') issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2020 on 24 July, 2020. - Covers key implications of Ind AS under Companies Act, 2013.About the book

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Nürnberg (IOM), course: Financial Management, language: English, abstract: This paper occupies with asset-backed securities as a financing instrument for companies and as an investment for investors. It shows the advantages of this financing vehicle. Firms can get a quick access to the financial markets and clean up their balance sheet and creditworthiness by selling receivables out of their assets. Investors get a good return on their input and help organizations financing themselves. But heavy risks, like securitization risks, regulatory risks, counterpart risks, economical risks and wrong rating risks can endanger the financial transaction and lead into a financial default. The greed of investment banks, bad economical circumstances and at least a deficient risk management of companies helped ABS products becoming a main role during the financial crisis of 2007. During the financial crisis ABS products lost their natural status as financing instruments and became something like financial investments.

This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyses Articles 24-30 of Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 “on markets in financial instruments” (MiFID II), which govern, as of January 2018, the most important aspects of investor protection of clients to whom credit institutions and investment firms provide investment services. These Articles contain code-of-conduct and product governance rules, which constitute cornerstones of contemporary EU capital markets law as shaped to address the weaknesses revealed in capital markets’ micro-prudential regulation and supervision after the recent international financial crisis of 2007-2009. The book concisely identifies the elements of continuity and change in relation to the repealed Directive 2004/39/EC (MiFID I), while also presenting the detailed delegated acts of the European Commission and Guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), which were adopted on the basis of Articles 24-30 MiFID II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approved in April 2004, the Directive 2004/39/EC (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, or MiFID) radically innovates the community legislative framework on the offer of investment services. Notwithstanding the complexity and variety of the issues addressed, the objectives of MiFID are clear: a) stimulate competition, repealing regulated market trading concentration obligations and facilitating the offer of cross-border investment services; b) strengthen market integrity, efficiency, and transparency by setting out detailed rules on trade execution; c) ensure investor protection and set uniform rules of conduct in the relations between investment firms and their clients; d) introduce minimum organizational requirements for investment firms. MiFID has been transposed into Italian legislation in 2007, adding a number of significant amendments to the Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation (Testo Unico della Finanza, or TUF) and related Regulations.

This book was released on 2012-01-20 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2005, the world of financial investment has experienced an unprecedented boom followed by a spectacular bust. Significant changes have been proposed and in some cases implemented in areas such as the structure of regulation, the organisation of markets, supervision of market participants and the protection of consumers. The second edition takes account of these developments, integrating them into an analytical framework that enables the reader to develop a critical overview of the role of general legal rules and specialised systems of regulation in financial investment. The framework focuses on the role of contract, trusts and regulation as the primary legal influences for financial investment. The first part explores the relationship between investment, law and regulation. The second part examines the nature of investments and investors, both professional and private. The third part discusses the central role of corporate finance and corporate governance in linking investors with enterprises that require external capital. The fourth part examines the nature, operation and regulation of markets and the participants that support the functioning of the markets. The objective remains to provide a broadly-based and critical account of the role of law in financial investment. "MacNeil's eloquent and informative distillation of the regulatory fundamentals of investment law gives his book much international relevance...a timely contribution to help readers decipher the seemingly inextricable maze of financial regulation...Practitioners and legal policy advisers will..welcome it. They should find enlightening the book's careful scrutiny of the trust and contractual foundations of investment law and practice."

This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Strathclyde (Business School), course: Derivatives and Treasury Management, language: English, abstract: The necessity of increased stabilisation and regulation of financial markets, especially over-the-counter markets, has received increased international attention following the financial crisis of 2007-08.1 Previously, swap markets were largely ‘in the dark’ when compared to exchange traded derivatives. The reactionary regulation, the Dodd-Frank Act, has severely tightened the OTC swaps markets through standardisation, increased collateral requirements and reporting standards and a more refined clearing mandate; to continue our analogy, it has sought to bring the swaps market into the light. Due to this increased regulation and subsequent increased costs associated with trading swaps, large swathes of swap trading migrated onto futures exchanges, in a process known as swap futurisation. This offered market participants regulatory certainty as well as a reduction in some of the more onerous costs and requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act. With eight years of trading under the Dodd-Frank regulation, our investigation into the advantages and disadvantages of swap futurisation will focus on trends seen in American data. Following on we will look more closely at the European Union’s response, namely the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation.
