Are you ready for IFR/IFPR?
The European Union adopted new regulations for investment firms, the Investment Firm Regulation (IFR) and the new Investment Firm Directive (IFD). Also known as the Investment Firms Prudential Regulation (IFPR) in the UK.
For all investment firms the key question will be which class does your firm belong to.
There are 3 classes each with distinctive reporting requirements.
Class 1 (systemic investment firm):
- Firms which deal on own account and underwrite or place financial instruments on a firm commitment basis.
- Total assets EUR 30bn
- Regulated by CRD4/CRR
Class 1 Minus (systemic investment firm):
- Firms which deal on own account and underwrite or place financial instruments on a firm commitment basis.
- Total assets EUR 15bn
- Regulated by CRD4/CRR
Class 2 (Non-systemic investment firm):
- All investment firms not categorized in Class 1 or 3
- MiFiD Firm
Class 3 (A Small and Non-interconnected investment firm):
- Firms which deal on own account and underwrite or place financial instruments on a firm commitment basis.
- No Client money
Firms that fall into Class 2 and 3 are required to monitor their criteria settings as they may change.
