It will provide client asset protection under its UK nominee accounts structure in accordance with the FCA’s authorisation and the UK’s Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) regulatory provisions.
Allfunds’ authorisation in the UK is an indication for its drive to upholding the stringent regulatory standards in the major markets where it conducts business.
With this authorisation, Allfunds further solidifies its reputation as an ethical supplier of banking and financial services to an expanding clientele in the UK wealth management market, which includes intermediary and pensions platforms, insurance companies, and investment management companies.
Tom Wooders, UK country head of Allfunds of Allfunds, said: “Allfunds’ authorisation in the UK marks an important milestone in the continued growth of our business in a key global market, while also demonstrating our commitment to ensuring strong performance that ultimately underpins the quality of the service received by our clients. Allfunds’ regulatory authorisation in the UK comes at a critical time, as the industry seeks trusted partners for the delivery of sophisticated, high-quality services and greater efficiencies in their own client service. We are confident this milestone will strengthen our existing client relationships while positioning us strongly to capitalise on demand for services Allfunds provides.”
