About this course
This course provides a structured and practical guide to the MiFID II investor protection framework as applied in Belgium and across the EU. It covers client classification, the suitability and appropriateness tests, best execution obligations, the Product Oversight and Governance (POG) framework, inducements and costs disclosure, and the outlook for MiFID III reforms.
Designed for compliance officers, relationship managers, product teams, and senior management of investment firms and credit institutions providing investment services. A risk-based approach runs through the course: investor protection obligations are presented as an operational framework, with supervisory expectations and enforcement lessons from the FSMA throughout.
