Author Description
This book examines the topical issue of governance of financial institutions, covering banks, investment firms, asset management, pension funds and insurance firms. It comprehensively analyses the impact and practice of the new and more robust requirements for management functions under MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and other regulation such as MAR (Market Abuse Regulation). Thematically grouped chapters provide extensive coverage of the main areas of change and interest in this field: financial regulation, models, systemic risk, culture and ethics, and conduct and culture. Each chapter employs an interdisciplinary approach, providing high-quality analysis and discussion of the governance of financial institutions of a practical, as well as theoretical, nature. Written by a team of expert contributors, comprised of leading scholars with broad practical experience, and leading practitioners in the field of corporate governance, this book provides much needed analysis of this important topic and the new rules for those advising financial institutions.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the evolving regulatory frameworks governing the management and oversight of financial institutions within the European Union. The authors, a team of distinguished legal scholars and practitioners, utilize a comparative and interdisciplinary methodology to evaluate how recent directives, specifically MiFID II and MAR, have altered the operational requirements for banks, insurers, and asset managers. The work argues that effective governance is no longer merely a matter of internal policy but a critical component of systemic stability and ethical conduct in modern financial markets.
