Make strategic breakthroughs with MiFID II technology solutions

It’s been 15 months now since MiFID II was introduced. With the dual aim of firstly, improving the markets’ competitiveness by creating a single market for investment services and secondly, ensuring a high degree of harmonised protection for investors in financial instruments – it aims to ensure all EU member states share a common, robust regulatory framework that protects investors.

Aside of satisfying regulatory requirements – and watch out for MiFID III! – such initiatives provide a great opportunity to re-engineer your tech infrastructure and to create much more bang for your regulatory buck.

Ground-breaking regulatory technology creates strategic advantage for Man Group
At Man Group, the world’s largest publicly traded hedge fund company, Digiterre, a leading software consultancy, worked with an in-house team to build a groundbreaking, scalable data and reporting solution, known as ‘MOLE’ (Man Order Listening Engine) that met not only the regulatory requirements of MiFID II but:

Provided a centralised software solution for trade data collection, viewing, analysis across the whole company

Created a new flexible platform that could meet the company’s future strategic growth objectives, enabling future new businesses acquired to plug into the trading platform and use the new regulatory reporting functionality.

This Custom-built technology, tailored to business needs, has given Man Group peace of mind in the knowledge the business can safely grow as trading data volumes far larger than current levels are future proofed. Spurred on by MiFID II, new strategic opportunities and competitive advantage have been enabled for the Group in a highly competitive sector.
