With the summer drawing to a close and the final quarter of the year beckoning, the Financial Services and Markets team at Travers Smith has prepared an End of Summer Postcard to flag key regulatory priorities for Q4 2026 and beyond.
The Postcard contains bite-size briefings on forthcoming developments affecting asset managers, financial market infrastructures, and fintech and payments firms to give senior managers and in-house legal and compliance advisers a practical "to do" list for the remainder of the year.
The topics covered in this year's End of Summer Postcard include:
- The FCA's proposals under the UK AIFM Review
- Proposed changes to the UK remuneration rules for solo-regulated asset managers
- The implementation of the UK cryptoassets regime
- The modernisation of UK payment services regulation
- The new UK regulatory regime for operational incident reporting
- Proposed changes to the UK client categorisation rules

- Changes to the UK regime for appointed representatives
- The EU's Market Integration and Supervision Package and the Retail Investment Strategy
- Reforms to the UK transaction reporting regime

And lots more!
