Individual and collective portfolios

Investment management-company, in its business-activities, might provide services to both individual clients, such as funds, and professional and retail investors. The distinctive feature is the choice between individual and collective portfolio management, which determines the appropriate regulatory regime (UK MiFID, UK AIFMD/UK UCITS or a combination of these). Required types of permits include:

  • investment consulting;
  • organization (implementation) of investment transactions;
  • consent to conduct controlled business-activities;
  • work with investments as an agent;
  • concluding agreements on investment transactions;
  • investment management;
  • control and storage of client money.

Additional permits may be required, particularly, for organization of security and assets management-operations, and for security and acceptance of clients’ assets.

Prudential norms

The prudential supervision procedures covered by MiFID in UK are set out in MIFIDPRU, prudential guidance for such firms. Investment managers are typically classified as small, independent organizations, which means they meet a basic minimum requirement of £75,000.

However, some investment managers may be exempt from MiFID under Article 2 and therefore are not subject to MIFIDPRU. An example is firms specializing in occupational pension schemes (OPS). Applicable prudential norms are set out in IPRU-INV 5. In the case of customer custodian plans, the firm will not be treated as a small independent firm and is likely to be subject to higher own funds requirements.

Getting such permit involves meeting threshold conditions, meeting the minimum standards set by FSMA, as well as ensuring the suitability of key individuals, having offices in the UK, having the necessary resources, and demonstrating competence and ability to manage funds effectively.
