The geopolitical and economic landscape is again undergoing major change and giving rise to significant challenges. Policymakers are responding to developments and reviewing regulatory approaches and priorities. All stakeholders need to navigate widespread uncertainty.
The focus on sustainable finance has further widened and deepened, with an increasing number of jurisdictions introducing rules for asset managers and funds. Reviews of the market events of March 2020 are approaching their conclusion, but recent events have raised new concerns about liquidity management within funds. Meanwhile, regulators continue to emphasize the need for robust governance and operational resilience.
Policymakers are walking a tightrope between expanding the available range of products to retail investors (allowing for alternative assets and strategies to assist economic recovery), while recalibrating their approaches to investor protection in an increasingly digital world.
