Abstract

Following its Sustainable Finance Action Plan, the European Commission has proposed amendments to integrate sustainable finance into the MiFID II and IDD investor protection frameworks. This contribution first sketches the behavioural problems explaining why retail investors do not always act upon their investment preferences and the potential role of the investment product distributor in bridging the gap between investors’ values and actual investment choices. Against this background, the author offers a critical overview of the most important changes to the MiFID II and IDD investor protection frameworks.

In the context of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit (https://www.un.org/en/conferences/environment/rio1992, retrieved on November 17, 2020) the “United Nations Environment Programme” set up a cooperation with the banking sector, resulting in the “UNEP Statement by Banks on the Environment and Sustainable Development”, later extended to become the “UNEP Statement of Commitment by Financial Institutions on Sustainable Development”.

Pilaj makes the interesting comparison with a hypothetical supermarket, where fair-trade products are kept in storage, available only on explicit request, and where most consumers do not make use of an explicit shopping list. Even consumers with a preference for fair-trade will in such circumstances often end up with other products.

We will not go into the changes to the governance requirements and the risk management process, since those only indirectly aim at investor protection.

New art. 2 (7)–(9) MiFID Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565; new art. 1 (5)–(6) MiFID Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593; and new art. 2 (4)–(6) IDD Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2359.

The definitions in the MiFID and IDD Delegated Regulations are the same, except for the use of “financial instrument” in the MiFID Delegated Regulation, while the IDD Delegated Regulation uses the term “financial product”. As such it is a pity that no uniform language is used on this matter, especially since the MiFID level 1 directive 2014/65/EU, also uses the term “investment product”, which includes structured deposits next to financial instruments, while the IDD-framework uses the term “insurance-based investment product”. Both the MiFID and IDD Delegated Regulations could therefore have used the term “investment product”, which would also be consistent with the PRIIPs Regulation’s use of the term “packaged retail and insurance-based investment products”.

As defined in art. 2 (17) of Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019/2088.

This is measured, for example, by key resource efficiency indicators on the use of energy, renewable energy, raw materials, water and land, on the production of waste, and greenhouse gas emissions, or on its impact on biodiversity and the circular economy.

In particular, an investment that contributes to tackling inequality or that fosters social cohesion, social integration and labour relations, or an investment in human capital or economically or socially disadvantaged communities.

See art. 8 Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019/2088.

As defined in art. 2 (17) of Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019/2088.

As referred to in art. 7 (1) (a) of Disclosure Regulation (EU) 2019/2088, which provides that the disclosures which financial market participants should make in regard of such products, should include a clear and reasoned explanation of whether, and, if so, how a financial product considers principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors.

MiFID II and MiFIR (Oxford: OUP, 2017) 123–137.

If the MiFID product manufacturer is the same institution as the product distributor, only one target market needs to be defined (see last section of art. 10 (2) MiFID Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593).

Subject to a number of exceptions. See Colaert, ‘Product governance’ (n 73) at 983.

ESMA, ‘Guidelines on MiFID II product governance requirements’ (ESMA35-43-620, 5 February 2018) at 7, para 18. In the draft guidelines, the “clients’ needs” were even a category, separate from “clients’ objectives”. “Objectives” then referred to the investment objectives of target clients, i.e. the wider financial goals or overall strategy, such as “liquidity supply”, “retirement provision”, or the expected investment horizon. Those objectives could then be “fine-tuned” by specific clients’ needs that would narrow or broaden the scope of the objectives, and could vary from specific to more generic such as: age, country of tax residence, special product features” like “currency protection”, “green investment”, “ethical investment”, etc. See ESMA, ‘Consultation Paper – Draft guidelines on MiFID II product governance requirements’ (ESMA/2016/1436, 5 October 2016) at 23–24. The final Product governance Guidelines, however, just used one general category “objectives and needs”.

Recital 5 of the Commission Delegated Directive amending MiFID Delegated Directive 2017/593/EU (Ref. Ares(2020)2955234, 8 June 2020). EIOPA wanted to explicitly include this in a new recital 5bis of the IDD Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2017/2358 (see EIOPA, ‘Technical Advice’ (EIOPA-BoS-19/172, 30 April 2019) (n 30) at 37).

FinDaTex (Financial Data Exchange Templates) is a joint structure established by representatives of the European financial services sector with the view to coordinate, organise and carry out standardisation work to facilitate the exchange of data between stakeholders in application of European financial markets legislation, such as MiFID II, PRIIPs and Solvency 2. One of its major achievements was the creation of a “European MiFID Template” for the definition of the target market under MiFID II. The third, improved version of this template, should be used as of 10 December 2020. FinDaTex has already announced on 24 June 2020 that a review of its EMT template for the integration of ESG target market criteria has been initiated.
