The asset management industry in the UK and the EU continues to face a challenging regulatory environment, with a series of long-running initiatives and new proposals on the horizon, some giving rise to new opportunities. To be successful in such interesting times, firms need to navigate a challenging course.

      The key regulatory themes currently driving policy and supervisory activity in the sector include sustainable finance, systemic risk, governance, investor protection, digital innovation, resilience and efforts to widen investor choice. 

      KPMG professionals have a wealth of experience across these areas, as well as the skills and expertise to help clients with regulatory change and regulatory-driven transformation across wealth and asset management firms.
