Earn 30 minutes CPD with our latest publication ‘The role of managed portfolio services in the modern regulatory landscape' available to download now. As the regulatory landscape evolves, your role in ensuring positive outcomes for your clients will become increasingly crucial. However, new regulations also bring new challenges.
In recent years, MiFID II and PROD have both brought about a major change in the way that the asset management industry operates. They ensure there is transparency of cost and charge information, disclosure of target markets, and deployment of monitoring processes to check the end investor is aligned to the intended target market of an investment solution.
However, these regulatory initiatives were putting the building blocks in place for ‘The Consumer Duty’, with its overarching principle of delivering good outcomes for the investor.
If we then look to the near-term future of regulation, we can see the introduction of the Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR). Due to be rolled out over several years, SDR is designed to remove ‘greenwashing’ and hold asset managers accountable to their sustainability claims. You will play a key role in SDR, ensuring your clients with sustainability preferences are paired with suitable investment solutions and presented with up-to-date sustainability data for the recommended solutions.
With increasing regulatory requirements, where does this leave you?
How can you ensure your processes and procedures are operationally efficient, robust and delivering consistent investment outcomes to your client segments?
