In this 9 th edition of the EFFAS Summer School, the Environmental Social Governance aspects (“ESG”) and the impact of MiFid II in our profession and in general in financial markets, have been thoroughly analyzed from different perspectives by the top professionals invited to our Summer School. Also Fintech-Big data and its current and midterm influence on financial markets, financial professionals and customers was discussed in full detail. According to our guests, these topics are about to transform deeply not only the structure of financial markets but also the relations between customers and supplier. They will increase both ransparency for the customers and costs linked to the operations in the near future.
