Investment & regulatory compliance 

The key elements to a sound investment and regulatory limits monitoring framework cover:

• The ability to clearly define the investment policy, authorised instruments and any limitations or restrictions listed in the prospectus/offering memorandum as well as the relevant regulatory constraints.
• The ability to monitor these restrictions and limits accordingly, which involves defining how to measure the various exposures and comparing them to investment limits and regulatory restrictions.
• Defining the actions to be taken should any breach in compliance be detected (escalation procedure, remedial, best approach to protect the investors)

Recent regulatory changes – such as the latest UCITS IV guidelines - have clearly emphasised the need for more robust, precisely documented and carefully monitored risk management and compliance monitoring framework.
