What do US managers need to know about Mifid II research unbundling and other new requirements?

Discussion points include:

– How are managers in Europe preparing for Mifid II research unbundling and what can US managers impacted by the rules learn from this ahead of the January 2018 deadline?
– Is there a silver lining? Could research procurement actually improve under Mifid II and fund managers gain more value add insights? Who will be the winners (and losers) from unbundling?
– Will changes to the sell-side in Europe start to have a knock-on impact globally and will US investors start pushing for similar levels of transparency?
– What other aspects of Mifid II might US managers be caught up in, depending on their firm structure?
