Stop complaining and build on Mifid’s benefits

In this Financial Times letter, Matt Smith, CEO of SteelEye, urges firms to stop complaining about MiFID II and instead recognise that compliance is not a one-off process. Benefits will only emerge over time, and in order turn compliance into an opportunity firms must stop treating it as a box ticking exercise, and more like a long-term strategy. The letter is a response to Philip Stafford‘s article “Bankers bemoan MiFID’s high costs and unclear benefits” published on May 24, 2019.  Read the article here.

“We were driven to start SteelEye because in my former life as a CIO, trying to effectively manage regulatory obligations, we discovered that there was no data-centric compliance solution available"
