Hot on the heels of where 2017's Howwows left off ...  we're BACK with the next steps on MiFIDII.

We'll be looking at the practical implications and issues of finding accurate information, the various anomalies, how to report it and paraplanning experiences so far.

We won't be able to give all the answers, but this is the space for us to continue the debate, share experience and contribute towards best practice.

Richard Allum - MD of The Paraplanners (and manages to run a few paraplanner events)

Mike Barrett - Consulting Director at the lang cat and our platform and real life impact guru

Benjamin Fabi - long time paraplanner and numbers expert

Nathan Fryer - Director of Plan Works (and Howwow regular)

Our panel have already posted some blog pieces on this topic that we'll be discussing. On trading cost anomalies and negative costs catch Nathan's piece here. Read Mike's MiFID II reality check here and excellent reporting of what's happening on the ground here (possibly the best blog title you'll ever see too, Scooby). Plus, if you missed the first Howwow on MiFID II you can catch-up here.

Join us on Wednesday 31 January, at 1pm for this hour-long online chat where we'll get stuck into answering all your questions on MiFID II.

Want to ask a question on the topic already? Go on, once you've registered, pop your question under the Q&A section - don't wait for the Howwow,  or email us here, or ask in real-time on the day.

Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.

On the day of the Howwow just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.

On the tech side of things. Viewing the Howwow on browsers such as Chrome or Firefoxwork best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.

Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.

Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the Howwow,  book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.

Can I suggest a Howwow topic or be on the panel?

Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.

You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.

There isn't an upcoming Howwow listed, when will the next one be?

Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunch time (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.

Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.

Powwows vs Howwows - what's the difference?

Here's the Powwow lingo.  Powwows are informal gatherings designed by paraplanners for paraplanners to exchange views, learn things, fix things and share things.

Got that? But there's more. Where Powwow gatherings are on a number of topics,  Howwows are for those times when we want to focus on ONE topic in particular and, in depth.

Sometimes we meet in person,  and sometimes we just like a good chinwag online.  Enter Howwows Online.

You can find out more about Powwows or see a full list of all events here.

Actually, my question was on something else

Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to how@paraplannerspowwow.co.uk.

One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?

Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on Powwow happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting.  We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
