Regulation
A thicket of new rules has sprung up around the investing community. Some of them apply directly and specifically to certain types of firms; others snare activities or individuals. All carry more weight than they may have done in the past, as the penalties for non-compliance have increased.
Risk.net focuses on regulation that relates to our other coverage areas – essentially, risk management and risk transfer. Right now, that includes rules and guidelines on liquidity risk, capital requirements, conduct, clearing and margining, as well as supervisory expectations around best execution and operational risk.
