What are the key regulatory obligations for investment managers and fund managers in the UK?

Investment managers and fund managers operating in the UK must comply with a wide range of regulatory obligations, including FCA authorisation, AIFMD, MiFID II, SM&CR, IFPR, and Consumer Duty. Reporting obligations such as Annex IV and Form 13F apply to managers with certain fund structures or US investors, while asset managers face tightening expectations around ESG disclosures, financial crime controls, and reporting transparency.

Asset managers face increasing regulatory pressure across client care and conduct, ESG disclosures, financial crime controls, and reporting transparency. The FCA expects firms to go beyond technical compliance to demonstrate genuine cultural change, robust governance, and a proactive approach to managing risk. Keeping pace with these evolving expectations requires a compliance framework that is dynamic, well-resourced, and calibrated to the firm's specific investment philosophy and operating model.

A: Fund managers face a distinct set of compliance challenges, including managing day-to-day regulatory reporting obligations such as Annex IV and Form 13F, maintaining IFPR-compliant capital and liquidity frameworks, and ensuring compliance keeps pace with market activity and strategic change. In challenging markets where maintaining investment focus is critical, the regulatory burden can be a significant distraction without the right compliance support in place.

A compliance framework calibrated to complement an asset manager's investment philosophy and operating model does more than satisfy regulatory requirements - it creates a robust, regulator-ready foundation for accelerated growth. By implementing structures and controls that prepare firms for the next regulator, client, or audit request, a strong compliance framework builds the trust and credibility that supports capital raising and long-term performance.

Cosegic eases the regulatory burden for investment managers and fund managers, providing support across the full spectrum of compliance obligations - from FCA authorisation and SEC registration to Annex IV reporting, IFPR, MiFID II, AIFMD, and ongoing advisory services. Our tailored frameworks go beyond mandatory compliance to empower investment managers with the foundations they need to focus on investment performance while maintaining a first-rate reputation with investors and regulators.
