Background
The FCA was consulting about the proposed rules to introduce the UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime (IFPR). IFPR was introduced ad a new prudential regime for UK firms authorised under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). The aim is to streamline and simplify the prudential requirements for solo-regulated investment firms in the UK. The proposed rules mean new requirements in respect of capital, liquidity, governance, risk management, remuneration and regulatory reporting.
The FCA published three consultation papers to introduce the regime and we hosted a webinar about each consultation paper. You can find more information and recordings of these webinars on our events page.
