Global Fund Management Regulatory Outlook 2023
Take an in depth look at fund regulations impacting asset management and fund distribution in 2023
Global Fund Management Regulatory Outlook 2023
Overview
The financial services industry is no stranger to frequent regulatory upheaval and scrutiny, however the past year has been particularly demanding on market participants, including but not limited to product providers, platforms, distributors, financial advisers and those providing data and technology infrastructure to meet the symphony of deadlines that defined 2022.
It seems clarity, transparency and sustainability will reign supreme as the dominating themes in fund regulation for the year ahead. Open discourse within the wider industry will be required to steer regulatory developments that make sense and deliver on Consumer Duty.
