This is 50

The Impact of Article 50 Article 50 of MiFID II states that an adviser must “provide annual ex-post information about all costs and charges related to both financial instruments and ancillary services where they have recommended or marketed the financial instruments, or, where they have provided the client with the KID/KIID in relation to the financial instrument and they have or had an ongoing relationship during the year.”
Providing a professional service is all about being useful. Being useful is being in the right place to offer the right solution at the right time. In your case, there are two important groups of clients that you can put yourself in the right place at the right time.
The consequence of MiFID is that if you take a fee for providing a service you have to provide that service or refund the fee. Quite straightforward really and fair to the client, the rub comes when advisers and their firms work out the real cost of providing that service in a post MiFID2 world.
New suitability rules suggest not obtaining the most up-to-date information can prevent you from taking a fee.
