Is Your Compliance Framework Fit For Purpose In 2025?

A health check guide for FCA-regulated asset management firms

The regulatory environment in the UK is rapidly evolving, with the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") placing increased scrutiny on asset management firms. For asset managers, staying ahead of these regulatory changes is critical, not only to meet the FCA's expectations but also to safeguard their firm's reputation and investor trust.

As 2025 progresses, asset management firms operating in the UK will face several key themes shaping their compliance obligations. These include:

• Individual accountability
• Non-financial misconduct
• Operational resilience

For FCA regulated firms, we believe that a proactive approach is the most effective way to navigate the complexity of these changes. One such approach is conducting regular health checks on your compliance frameworks to ensure they remain fit for purpose.
