Trade allocation: Asset managers’ need for a robust Compliance function
Regulatory scrutiny of the investment process functions of asset managers and investment advisory firms has increased steadily in recent years. This has led a growing number of firms to make their compliance processes more robust and inclusive. Asset managers are also seeing a strong need to take prudent measures in building and managing compliance functions in their trade allocation processes.
