The regulatory burden on wholesale firms is growing as the FCA focuses more actively on the sector, recognising the risk to markets that the sector represents. This comes at a time when the sector faces significant macroeconomic challenges, focusing attention on efficiency and cost reduction. The industry is constantly evolving for both the buy side (asset managers) and sell side (brokers and principal trading firms). The sector includes firms that provide custody and fund services - fund depositaries, custody platforms and institutional custodians with responsibility for safeguarding significant amounts of client money and custody assets, which in many cases ultimately belong to retail clients.
At Square 4 Partners, we have technical expertise across the key regulatory topics that are of most concern to the wholesale sector. We help wholesale firms keep on top of regulatory change and ahead of FCA focus areas. We support firms to position themselves to achieve compliance in a way that is not only effective but efficient, and underpinned by the right subject expertise.
