What are the legal requirements impacting the banking sector ?
MIFID regulation results in a complete transparency requirement of financial transactions for customers.
FINMA Circular results in a better management of electronic data processing on clients’ privacy and data security.
PIR : The Principles for Investment Reporting represent the work of CFA Institute and its Investment Reporting Working Group (IRWG). Investment reporting continues to be the most valuable tool for communicating investment information. The Principles for Investment Reporting aims to address the lack of transparency that can occur when providing investment reporting to asset owners :
- Transparency and clarity : fee transparency, clear and transparent presentation of investment risks and results
- Treatment of complex technical issues
- Anticipation of regulatory trends
The principles are separate from the well-established GIPS standards.
GIPS (Global Investment Performance Standards) are a rigorous set of investment performance measurement standards adopted in 37 countries and recognized around the world for their unparalleled credibility, integrity, scope, and uniformity, enabling investors to directly compare a firm’s track record with other firms.
