BETTER FINANCE welcomes this call for
evidence from ESMA on retail investor protection topics but regrets that
it is confined to securities markets (MiFID II) topics only as these
financial instruments make up for only a third of the financial balance
sheets of EU27 households and in fact the smallest share of the three
largest financial product categories: insurance product and pensions
(34%), banking products (32%) and MiFID II product (31%) in 2020.
Therefore, BETTER FINANCE’s general recommendation is to avoid the silo
approach by the European Commission and adopt a more
coordinated/harmonised view of retail investor protection topics.
