Asset management regulation is constantly evolving. KPMG’s Evolving Asset Management Regulation report explores a broad range of regulatory priorities, developments and proposals affecting the asset management industry around the world.
As this year’s report – our 14th edition – finds, after four years of rapid-fire regulatory development, many regulators are now taking stock and shifting efforts from policymaking to supervision. Embeddedness is being assessed. Compliance is being checked. Guidelines are being published. And rules are being updated and amended to reflect asset managers’ feedback and real-life experience. Asset managers should proactively seize this window of opportunity to build strong foundations for regulatory compliance going forward.
While the pace of new regulation may have slowed slightly, this year’s report identifies several key topics and focus areas that are rapidly changing — often in diverging ways depending on the market and the regulator’s stance.
