Details

This latest edition in our well-established series of events examining the evolution of financial services regulation in the UK will not only analyse the impact of the fundamental macro changes, but also the implications of the many specific regulatory changes that are being introduced to enhance the UK’s leading position in key sectors such as capital raising (e.g. Mark Austin’s Secondary Capital Raising Review), cryptoassets, ESG and stewardship, green finance, insurance (e.g. the Solvency II Review), and FinTech. The speakers will also address the issue of how regulatory divergence may impact access to European markets and the ability to service European clients in the longer term.

Key Themes:
• The Treasury’s priorities for ensuring the UK retains its position as a global financial services centre
• The FCA’s proposals for boosting competitiveness while maintaining the integrity of the financial services sector
• The PRA’s plans to develop a new domestic regulatory agenda, particularly post Solvency II
• Accessing European markets and customers: strategies and prospects
• Replacing EU legislation with a more UK focussed approach to regulation
• Reforming equity raising in the UK markets: the impact of the Secondary Capital Raising Review
• Designing a regulatory framework for crypto which is consistent with the UK becoming a leading crypto centre
• Maintaining the City’s leadership position in green finance, ESG stewardship and governance
• The changing landscape for the banking industry and the drive to become a world leader in Fintech and AI
• The post Solvency II proposals for releasing funds for investment in long term projects and infrastructure

Who should attend:
The event will be invaluable for all UK institutions affected by regulatory changes to the financial markets in particular senior management, Directors, VPs and heads of department from: Banks, asset managers, financial service providers, hedge funds, prime brokers, insurers, law firms, regulators, accountants, consultancies, financial technology companies and solution providers.
