MiFID II requires private banks and wealth managers to demonstrate that the investment product or instrument they offer is suitable for their client. This suitability requirement also includes that the client has sufficient investment knowledge and experience to understand the functioning and the risks of the investment product(s) or instrument(s).
Ronald Janssen (Managing Director Goal Based Planning at Ortec Finance), together with Tom Loonen (Professor of Financial Law at VU University Amsterdam) conducted a pan-European research by interviewing policymakers of 25 private banks across 10 European countries. This research focused on the quality of the KYC ('Know Your Customer') information, that private banks obtain from their clients, and the extent to which it is digitized and translated into a risk profile. The research also focused on whether this process was client- or product-oriented, and the way client risks are controlled and monitored.
