This Practice Note offers concise, high-level coverage of the principal features of the UK MiFID II regime and signposts to further guidance. The regime stems from Directive 2014/65/EU (MiFID II) and incorporates EU measures that had direct effect in the UK, became part of UK assimilated law upon the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, and are subject to revocation under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (FSMA 2023). Instruments within UK assimilated law include Assimilated Regulation (EU) 600/2014 (UK MiFIR) and, until it is revoked on 23 October 2025, Commission Delegated Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 (the UK MiFID II Organisational Regulation).
