Product Governance and Oversight under MiFID II

This course provides a detailed overview of Product Governance and Oversight under MiFID II, the European Union’s regulatory framework that reshaped how financial instruments are designed, approved, and distributed. MiFID II places strong emphasis on investor protection and market integrity, requiring firms to consider the entire lifecycle of financial products—from product design and approval to distribution, monitoring, and review. Participants will explore the roles of both manufacturers and distributors, the requirements for target market assessment, distribution strategies, conflict of interest management, and ongoing product monitoring. The course also examines regulatory reporting, compliance obligations, and practical case studies to illustrate governance in action. By combining regulatory knowledge with best practices, this course equips learners with the tools to ensure compliance while adopting a client-centric approach that enhances trust and transparency.
