UK based financial market participants and the SFDR
If you’re UK based, an EU regulation like this might not really be a priority of yours (after Brexit and all) – we get it! But be sure to check twice if the regulation applies to you, because you could still be required to report on the SFDR. If you have any operations in the EU, or are for example planning to market funds in the EU, reporting on the SFDR is highly applicable to you. Additionally, complying with the regulation can add value to your brand and make you more attractive as an investor or advisor.
