Expert Investment Firms Compliance in Italy
Investment firm compliance now scales with classification. ABM Global Compliance supports investment firms in Italy with MiFID II authorisation, IFD prudential classification, conduct compliance, and ongoing support, and we shape every engagement around this market, because Borsa Italiana anchors Milan’s markets under CONSOB conduct supervision. We build compliance for exactly that reality.

A Prudential Regime Built for You
Compliance in Italy means mastering two layers at once. The IFD and IFR set prudential requirements by firm class and K-factors, while MiFID II layers conduct obligations from suitability to best execution on top. Beneath it, Borsa Italiana anchors Milan’s markets under CONSOB conduct supervision, with market abuse enforcement among CONSOB’s visible priorities.
The cost of misreading this market is concrete. Classification errors run expensive in both directions, and conduct arrangements untested by monitoring fail exactly when regulators examine them. Getting the framework right first is far cheaper than correcting it under scrutiny. We build frameworks for Italy from local supervisory reality rather than generic EU templates.

Investment Firm Questions Answered
Can you support newly authorised firms?
Absolutely. We help new firms stand up compliance monitoring, reporting, and governance for their first supervised year and beyond at every stage.
What capital does an investment firm need?
Initial capital under the IFD is EUR 75,000, 150,000, or 750,000 depending on permissions, with ongoing requirements determined by firm classification and K-factor calculations, including Decree 231/2007 duties.
What are IFD firm classifications?
Firms fall into classes from small non-interconnected firms with lighter requirements to large firms treated like credit institutions, based on size and activity thresholds.
Do investment firm licences passport across Europe?
Yes. MiFID II authorisation in one member state passports across the EU for services or branches through notifications we prepare and manage.
What conduct rules apply to investment firms?
Client categorisation, suitability and appropriateness, best execution, product your governance, inducements, and disclosure obligations, applied proportionately to your services and client types.
