Also, 65% of the respondents said they expect the new regulatory landscape to take an increasing amount of their time in 2018 as against the previous year.
Northern Trust head of regulatory solutions Robert Angel said: “Whilst it’s surprising the effort spent by the industry on regulatory compliance is expected to increase, MiFID II will require ongoing efforts for the duration of 2018.
“In addition, GDPR is fast approaching and with many fund managers focused on other regulatory change, the significance and work required for GDPR is likely to only being focused on now.”
