About this episode

Aniqah Rao discusses the UK's regulatory reforms affecting alternative investments and key proposals for 2026.

The UK has already seen a significant push of regulatory reform affecting alternative investments this year, with much more still to come. Aniqah Rao, Associate Director of Markets, Governance and Innovation at AIMA, joins The Long-Short to analyse last week’s FCA publication on short selling, the ongoing consultation around a potential ban on non-competes and highlight the key proposals that should be on your radar for the rest of 2026. We’re also launching a new The Long-Short newsletter for deeper insights and to continue the conversation.
