Institutional Investor's Financial Technology Forum & SimCorp to Host Webcast on MiFID II Compliance for the North American Buy Side

NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SimCorp, a leading provider of investment management solutions and services for the global financial services will be hosting a webcast in conjunction with Institutional Investor's Financial Technology Forum titled, "The Move Towards MiFID II: Ensuring Compliance for the North American Buy Side." The event takes place on Thursday, September 28 from 12:00-12:45pm EST and will feature MiFID II expert Gernot Schmidt, who will discuss who and what will be affected by MiFID II, when to comply, and solutions and best practices for doing so from a North American standpoint. Organizations that take a holistic approach to data management and consolidation will be better equipped to comply with MiFID II. IBOR architecture, which provides a golden record for positions and transactions, enables asset managers to address many of the data requirements for MiFID II in one central application, effectively supporting change processes around the firm and lowering the cost of data governance.

"MiFID II is one of the biggest pieces of regulation to ever hit the buy side and its impact will be felt by both European and North American firms, fundamentally changing the way investment managers run their businesses," said Lew Knox, Executive Director of Institutional Investor's Financial Technology Forum and moderator of the webinar. "Naturally there are significant concerns and many questions about how to comply as the January 2018 deadline approaches. The goal of this webcast is to explain the directives of MiFID II and to help firms construct an actionable plan that considers not only the data challenges but how this might present an opportunity to reassess existing workflows in trading, regulatory reporting, and client management to ultimately improve governance and overall operations."

This complimentary 45-minute webinar will cover the following topics:

• MiFID II implementation plan and playbook
• Deadlines in the market
• MiFID trade and transaction reporting procedures and challenges
• Where to get all the new data elements required for trade and transaction reporting

This event is open to investment management firms and members of the buy side only.
