Introduction

FinDatEx has announced the release of EMT V4.2, which introduces significant enhancements specifically tailored for the UK market to improve transparency and regulatory compliance. Starting from June 30, 2024, the adoption of EMT V4.2 will become mandatory for all market participants in the UK, at which point EMT V4.1 will be officially retired.

The updated version, EMT V4.2, brings several key improvements. Among these are more detailed cost disclosures, providing investors with clearer insights into the fees associated with financial products. Additionally, the new version includes sections that are uniquely designed to meet the specific needs and regulatory requirements of the UK market. These enhancements align with the objectives of the Cost Transparency Initiative (CTI), ensuring that the financial industry upholds the highest standards of clarity and accountability.

At RiskConcile, we offer a robust EMT solution designed to streamline your compliance with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). Our platform leverages golden source data, ensuring accuracy and reliability, and features seamless integration capabilities to make the transition to EMT V4.2 as smooth as possible.
