Governance

Role of the Board of EXANTE

The Board of EXANTE is responsible for creating and delivering sustainable shareholder value through managing business processes. Therefore, it determines the company's strategic objectives and policies to deliver long-term values, and provide an overall strategic direction within a framework of rewards, incentives and controls. The Board of EXANTE ensures that the management achieves an appropriate balance between promoting long-term growth and delivering short-term objectives. The directors of EXANTE act in a way they consider, in good faith, to promote the success of the company for the benefit of the shareholders as a whole and, in doing so have a regard for (amongst other matters):

The likely consequences of any decision in the long-term;
The interests of EXANTE employees;
The need to foster EXANTE business relationships with suppliers, members and others;
The impact of EXANTE operations on the community and the environment;
The desirability of EXANTE to maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct and;
The need to act fairly between the shareholders of EXANTE.

The Board of EXANTE also ensures that the management maintains a system of internal control which provides the assurance of effective and efficient operations, internal financial controls, and compliance with the law and regulators. In addition, the Board ensures that the management maintains an effective risk management and oversight process at the highest level across the company.

In carrying out these responsibilities, the Board has a regard as to what is appropriate for the company’s business and reputation, the materiality of finances and other risks inherent in the business and the relative costs and benefits of implementing specific controls.

Sustainability

Although we recognise that financial markets are probably the least sustainable institutions around, we address sustainability as a main criterion in our decision-making process. We try to balance today's gains with the future prosperity of all our stakeholders.

Powers of the Board of EXANTE

The Board of EXANTE is also the decision-making body for all other significant matters of importance to the company as a whole, because of the strategic, financial or reputational implications or consequences of the actions of EXANTE.

The Board acts in accordance with its powers, and Directors must:

Act in accordance with the company’s constitution, and;

Regulation

MiFID

The Market in Financial Instruments Directive is an EU directive which has been in effect since November 1st, 2007. The MiFID sets forth the requirements for the entire European financial sector with the aim of introducing a single European market of financial instruments. Its main goal is to promote the emergence of an efficient, transparent and integrated financial trading infrastructure, including ensuring a high degree of investor protection. The directive contains measures that changed and improved the organisation and functioning of investment firms, facilitating cross border trading while creating strategic opportunities. The MiFID can be viewed in full here.

EXANTE, as an EU-regulated investment firm, falls under the MiFID’s jurisdiction and has as such implemented all necessary legal requirements, protocols and policies to ensure full compliance with the directive. Regarding the MiFID implementation for partners, EXANTE proactively supports them by offering a range of services that facilitate the partners themselves in meeting their local national MiFID requirements and hence reduce costs.

The Malta Financial Supervisory Authority monitors the Maltese investment industry’s compliance with the MiFID.

Client Classification: Suitability & Appropriateness Tests

The MiFID requires firms to classify clients in three main categories, as "Eligible Counterparties", "Professional Clients" and "Retail Clients" (the latter having the highest level of protection) and to assess their suitability and appropriateness for the products offered.

Post-Trade Transparency

EXANTE ensures that transaction transparency is achieved in accordance with the MiFID. In order to enable investors or market participants to access the terms of potential stock transactions at any time and to retroactively verify the conditions in which these transactions were carried out, EXANTE publishes details of completed stock transactions and discloses details of current opportunities to trade shares. More specifically, all types of trading in financial instruments, whether on regulated markets, MTFs or over-the-counter (OTC), are subject to a post-trade transparency obligation.

Best Execution

The MiFID requires that investment firms take all possible steps to obtain the best overall result in the execution of client’s order. The best possible result is not limited to the execution price, but also includes a variety of factors, such as speed, the likelihood of the execution and the likelihood of a settlement.

EXANTE’s Best Execution Policy creates transparency for EXANTE’s clients’ means of ensuring the best execution hereunder relying on: (i) state-of-the-art technology for routing, monitoring and executing orders; (ii) careful consideration of the elements of order execution; (iii) regular and rigorous examination of the overall execution quality.

Transaction Reporting

EXANTE must report all transactions to the Malta Financial Supervisory Authority.

Trading Licences

EXANTE holds Cat. III Licence No. IS/52182 issued by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) as well as Licence No. 165/12 by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).
