A regular briefing for the alternative asset management
industry.
KEY INSIGHTS
Deregulation on the horizon: Reviews of the
regulation of alternative investment fund managers are underway in
the UK and the EU, which could deliver some benefits for firms.
Burden reduction is one of the objectives:
Although European policymakers say they are targeting growth and
competitiveness, and will clearly try to simplify their rulebooks,
there are also dangers inherent in any regulatory reform –
and some firms will probably see some burdens increase.
Industry's opportunity to influence
outcomes: Regulators are asking for stakeholder input,
giving the industry a rare chance to influence the supervisory
framework that governs them, and the current political climate
makes it more likely that industry suggestions will find
favour.
