London, UK — MFA issued the following statement in response to the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) proposals to streamline the UK’s asset management regulatory framework:
“MFA welcomes the FCA’s efforts to simplify reporting requirements and update legacy rules to enhance competitiveness. The proposed reforms recognise that alternative investment funds can achieve strong risk management and investor protection standards without unnecessary operational complexity. This will allow firms to direct more resources toward serving investors and providing capital to UK markets.”— Rob Hailey, Managing Director, Head EMEA Government Affairs
