An EU Delegated Regulation containing Regulatory Technical Standards on investment recommendations under the Market Abuse Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. MAR will apply from July 3, 2016 except for those concepts that will be introduced by the revised Market in Financial Instruments Directive and the Market in Financial Instruments Regulation, which will apply from 3 January 2018.

The RTS set out the technical arrangements for objective presentation of investment recommendations and for disclosure of particular interests or conflicts of interest.  The RTS require that a firm producing a recommendation must disclose its identity, as well as the names and identities of the individuals involved in preparing a recommendation. Firms that disseminate recommendations will be subject to similar disclosure obligations and must also indicate on a recommendation the date on which it was first disseminated. Firms producing recommendations must also disclose relevant interests or conflicts of interest.
