Strengthening Investor Protection through Operational Outsourcing

As wealth management becomes more complex, so too does the regulatory landscape concerning investor protection. Not only must firms comply with regulations around holding client money and acting in their investors’ best interest, but they must also prove compliance, often on a daily basis. Wealth managers are increasingly re-evaluating where they focus their time and effort.

• Delivering investor protection through partnership—How can this new flexible outsourcing model help wealth managers to ensure their investors are protected and their firm is compliant?
