With the deadline for MiFID II less than a year away, the combined offering leverages IHS Markit’s Outreach360 solution and Deloitte’s regulatory business advisory expertise via a managed service.

MiFID II rules are set to shake up the old practices of repapering between counterparties, and as such the new partnership will offer customers a comprehensive solution to better manage counterparty documentation as well as address regulatory outreach for KYC, tax and global regulatory data including due diligence questionnaires.

IHS Markit’s Outreach360 provides a single auditable platform to create, manage, send, track and store all counterparty outreach for regulatory, due diligence and data gathering purposes. This platform supports bilateral communication between all counterparties and leverages the rich entity and regulatory data which exists on Counterparty Manager. In turn, Deloitte brings a wealth of advisory consulting expertise including MiFID II knowledge along with a managed service capability to address large scale remediation.

The effort is in response to new rules under the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive – known as MiFID II and set to come into force in January 2018 – that will force greater transparency across market structure, investor protection, transparency reporting and organizational requirements.
