MAP S.Platis personnel will assist attendants in finding out more about how one can obtain an EU financial institution license and operate within the European Union, as well as provide information on other types of useful European investment and financial structures, such Financial Corporate Groups/Conglomerates, Private and Public Funds and Hedge Funds, UCITS and International Collective Investment Schemes.

Its consultants are highly specialized, academically qualified individuals with extensive experience and involvement in a number of high profile transactions, both in Cyprus and abroad. MAP S.Platis has played a leading and crucial role in licensing, regulating and shaping the internal audit and compliance procedures for the great number of European Investment Firms. It provides specialized advisory services during the licensing process, as well as the actual setting-up of these firms. The long experience and impeccable track record of the specialised teams of MAP S.Platis have gained the firm the insightful and practical understanding of its clients' business and its clients' needs that it maintains today. It is precisely for this reason that even the Regulators seek the advice, guidance and professional training of MAP S.Platis - especially on FX matters.

Particularly, as regards FX licensing in Cyprus and the European Union, overall, MAP S.Platis has been, single-handedly the driving force behind the registration of the first ever MiFID-licensed FX Investment Firm in the European Union, whilst today in Cyprus, it maintains an exceptional market share in licensing, training and consulting with over 75% of all FX firms on the island. But most importantly it maintains an unblemished track record of 100% success on all licensing applications!

During the Summit, Dr. Stelios Platis, the Managing Director of MAP S.Platis and Chairman of the Association of Cyprus International Investment Firms (ACIIF), will give a presentation on the regulatory environment in the European Union with a focus on Online Retail Forex brokers.

According to Dr. Platis, "Despite the current uncertain economic environment, the retail forex market is still growing and developing. This growth attracted the attention of regulators who now seek to introduce special and specific regulations for retail forex brokers. The US as well as other non-EU regulators have led this initiative while EU regulators have recently begun focusing their attention on the process. I have no doubt that the next few years will bring with them significant changes in how retail investors deal in forex".
