FCA’s Asset Management Market Study Interim Report

This very special Transparency Symposium is dedicated to the FCA's Asset Management Market Study Interim Report; a Report that has been seen by many to be a regulatory game-changer; a Report that most would agree indicates there are going to be significant and far-reaching changes ahead for the UK's Pensions, Investment and Asset Management sector and all connected professions. 

The ‘Active V Passive’ issues alone that are highlighted in the FCA's work throw up all sorts of questions that need answering and may alter the very nature of the market. Is the Report a saviour of active management or has it thrown it into crisis?

There may even be a 'Market Investigation Reference' to the Competition and Markets Authority about the way the Investment Consulting industry is (isn't?) working; most think that could be a very serious development indeed.  

Without any doubt whatsoever the FCA's Interim Report looks to be a seismic shift in the way the sector is regulated and as such this event is an excellent opportunity to increase your understanding of the many complex issues the FCA have raised, learn how others are planning to respond, and debate what it's all going to mean in the short, medium and long term for the market and the tens of thousands of people that work within it. 

We have an exceptional and highly relevant line-up of speakers for you including:

 - One or more senior executives from the FCA itself, as mentioned above

 - Helena Morrissey, Chair, The Investment Association

 - Tim Giles, Head of Investment Consulting, AON Hewitt

 - Campbell Fleming, Global Head of Distribution, Aberdeen Asset Mgt. 

 - Peter Glancy, Head of Industry Development, Scottish Widows

 - JB Beckett, UK Representative, The Association of Professional Fund Investors

 - Mike Barrett, Consulting Director, The Lang Cat

Furthermore, we are organising  a panel session on this very hot topic - if you are attending and want to be on the panel let me know ASAP.
