Partner Insight Video: How are advisers coping with the changing regulatory environment?

clock • 1 min read

Advisers are facing a number of new regulations to contend with. From the new PROD rules to MiFID II, there is a sea change in the regulatory landscape that advisers are operating in.

We recently caught up with advisers from Belfast at one of the World Market Review roadshow events by Architas. Throughout the year, Architas has visited advisers across the country, providing them with the latest investments insights and analysis.

In Belfast, James Bampton, Head of Intermediary Distribution at Architas, and Peter Nicholas, Investment Development Manager at Architas for Scotland, the North West & Northern Ireland, discussed what advisers need to be aware of when it comes to new regulations and how Architas is helping them.

We also spoke to Belfast-based advisers Jennifer Armstrong from Medical & General Financial Solutions, David Bannon, of Lighthouse Financial Advice, and Ian Watters, from Logic FP, about how they are dealing with the shifting regulatory landscape.
