Investment Firm Prudential Regime (IFPR) Support

Prepare a robust prudential programme to meet new regulatory expectations.

Request a Call or Meeting

The Investment Firm Prudential Regime (IFPR) came into force on 1 January 2022, directly impacting any group that owns an FCA authorised firm that provides MiFID investment services and activities - regardless of their location.  

These new prudential rules introduce more complex and onerous capital, liquidity, reporting and governance requirements for affected firms - many are now facing requirements to maintain significantly greater levels of capital. 

It's vital that impacted firms understand and implement the new requirements to stay on the right side of the regulator. 

Our Solutions

Our experienced prudential team are on hand with a wide range of solutions designed to you implement and maintain your IFPR obligations.  These include:
