About this episode

This episode discusses the significant changes to UK hedge fund regulations post-Brexit and their implications for alternative investment managers.

The FCA and HM Treasury have unveiled the biggest overhaul of UK rules for alternative investment managers since Brexit. From reporting and remuneration to risk management, the proposals could reshape how hedge funds, private credit managers and other alternative investment firms are regulated. What exactly is changing and why? In this episode, AIMA's Jennifer Wood, Global Head of Asset Management Regulation & Sound Practices, and James Hopegood, Director of Asset Management Regulation, explain the thinking behind the reforms, highlight the proposals that matter most, and discuss what firms should expect next.
