Asset Managers are tasked not only with identifying new regulatory changes but with presenting this information in a format accessible to both stakeholders and staff, all while managing the complexities and nuances of the regulatory landscape.

Key Challenges in Regulatory Horizon Scanning:

• Diverse Regulatory Bodies

  : Investment Managers must track numerous regulatory announcements, each differing in methodology, timing, and scope, requiring constant vigilance.

• Volume of Regulatory Material

  : The frequency and length of regulatory updates can be overwhelming, often requiring review of hundreds of pages across various publications.

• Complexity and Nuanced Interpretation

  : Regulatory texts are intricate and may apply to multiple financial sectors, requiring careful interpretation to assess relevance accurately.

• Tailored Application for Each Entity

  : Effective Horizon Scanning requires fine-tuned scoping to ensure regulatory guidance is applied appropriately to a firm’s unique services, reducing overreach or oversight.

• Regulatory Divergence and Alignment

  : With regulators both diverging and aligning in different areas, staying updated is a significant challenge as firms must balance often conflicting requirements.

• Risk Exposure from Changing Regulations

  : Regulatory shifts inherently increase firms' risk exposure, underscoring the need for proactive identification and response.

• High Costs of Manual or In-House Solutions

  : Manual Horizon Scanning is labor-intensive and potentially incomplete, while building internal automation can be cost-prohibitive and resource-heavy.
