	MiFID Compliance	As a result of MiFID, firms may find that a number of their clients, which they treat as wholesale clients, seek reclassification as retail clients to gain the additional protections to which retail clients are entitled. Employers advising retail clients must obtain the retail version of the qualification. SII has adapted all regulatory examinations to ensure they are MiFID compliant.
