Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate whether investment advisors’ procedures of servicing evolve to meet MiFID II Directive requirements. Using a mystery client procedure adopted from the Synovate (2011) research, 51 datasets and 58 datasets were collected in 2016 and 2017. No statistical differences between annual results were found in procedures of collecting necessary information. Advisors were generally perceived to be clear in providing recommendations. Almost all clients were satisfied with such service. The results provide a general profile of a satisfied client as a person looking for transparent and clear information on investment alternatives provided by a professional in terms of collecting detailed but only necessary data.
