SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: UK Cyber Attacks: Lessons Learned in 2025 & What’s Coming Next in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Cyber criminals don’t care if you’re a global retailer or a boutique wealth manager — if you hold sensitive client data\, you’re a target. High-profile cyberattacks on household names like Co-op and Marks & Spencer have exposed just how quickly trusted brands can be brought to their knees. These incidents offer a stark warning for wealth managers: client trust is fragile\, operational disruption is costly\, and third-party risk can devastate even the strongest institutions. \nBut what does this mean for wealth managers in 2025 and beyond? \nIn this forward-looking session\, PIMFA and cybersecurity specialists Mitigo will take you on a journey: \n\nLook Back: The defining UK cyberattacks of the past 24 months — how they happened\, what went wrong\, and the common threads that wealth managers should recognise.\nLook Forward: The evolving threat landscape — AI-driven phishing\, deepfake-enabled fraud\, insider threats\, and supply chain attacks targeting financial firms.\nActionable Playbook: Practical steps to strengthen resilience\, prepare your staff\, and build a governance framework that can withstand both today’s and tomorrow’s attacks.\n\n Why attend? \n\nBenchmark your firm’s cyber readiness against real-world case studies.\nUnderstand the next generation of cyber threats specific to Wealth and Advice firms.\nGain insight into regulator expectations around cyber governance\, resilience\, and reporting.\nWalk away with a checklist and incident-response framework from Mitigo tailored to wealth managers.

SUMMARY:PIMFA Learning: The SMF Regulatory Briefing Programme 2026 - All You Need to Know About Everything That Matters Most
DESCRIPTION:What the FCA expects from Senior Managers \nThe FCA takes the competence of your Senior Managers very seriously. Upon applying to become an SMF\, the FCA expects an individual to demonstrate a high level of skill and knowledge to carry out the role\, supporting their application by completing a skills gap analysis\, learning and development plan\, and competency assessment. \nRemaining Fit and Proper \nBut the regulator’s scrutiny of an SMF doesn’t stop at the application stage. The FCA expects your firm to ensure that your SMF holders continue to possess the requisite skills\, particularly concerning the latest regulatory developments. Annual fit and proper assessments\, mandated by the regulator and conducted by your firm\, are not a ‘tick box’ exercise requiring you instead to carefully assess whether your senior managers are competent in performing their roles. \nThe solution \nPIMFA’s 12-month ‘SMF Regulatory Briefing Programme’ supports SMF holders in learning everything they need to know about the issues that matter most to them. It also prepares prospective SMF holders for the highest level of leadership. The programme consists of a series of live\, monthly\, online one-hour sessions on critical compliance\, risk and financial crime challenges\, enabling SMFs to: \n\nKeep up to date with the latest regulatory trends and initiatives\nDemonstrate their commitment to regulatory proficiency\nAccess the training at a convenient time\, through our on-demand learning platform\nDocument CPD activity as required\n\nHighlights and key outcomes \nBy enrolling on ‘The SMF Regulatory Briefing Programme 2026’\, SMFs will be able to: \n\nEvidence to the FCA their in-role competency and capability required under SMCR.\nRapidly assess the firm’s compliance exposure and vulnerabilities.\nGet ahead and make sense of a broad\, complex\, and ever-evolving regulatory and compliance landscape.\nSet priorities to develop a proactive regulatory change management programme.\nLead your firm on how best to mitigate risks\, create a firm-wide compliance culture\, make sound decisions\, and build resilience across the business.\nImprove their strategic thinking and ability to respond to regulatory change effectively.\nExplore with peers the latest research and best practices for managing risk to safeguard enterprise value.\n\nSession format \nEach session includes a mix of expert-led presentations\, real-world case studies and small group discussions. \nProgramme topics and schedule \nThrough 12 sessions\, SMFs develop the knowledge and insights on the latest regulatory changes and compliance challenges required to protect their firm’s assets\, reputation\, and competitive advantage. \nFormat: 12 x 1-hour monthly sessions \nDelivery: Live\, expert-led online learning sessions \nStart date: 22nd January 2026 – 10th December 2026 \nDuration: 12 months

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: AI: How Not to Get Left Behind
DESCRIPTION:By early 2026\, AI has moved far beyond experimentation. It is now actively reshaping how wealth firms operate\, make decisions\, serve clients\, and manage risk. Some firms are already realising measurable value. Others are drifting dangerously behind. \nThis webinar is designed as a wake-up call for PIMFA member firms. \nIn this free 60-minute briefing\, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on what matters most right now: \n\nThe hard risks of inaction: What “falling behind” now looks like — slower processes\, higher costs\, weak data foundations\, governance gaps\, and competitors accelerating ahead.\nReal examples from real firms: How wealth managers\, platforms\, and advice firms are already deploying AI to improve efficiency\, strengthen controls\, enhance client journeys\, and reduce operational burden.\nA pragmatic roadmap for 2026: Where to start\, what to prioritise\, and how to build a safe\, scalable and commercially grounded AI adoption plan.\nWhat’s coming next from PIMFA: A short introduction to PIMFA’s new AI learning programme for senior leaders.\n\nWhether you’re AI-curious\, cautious\, or already experimenting\, this session will sharpen your understanding of what’s possible and what’s at stake as we enter the next phase of AI adoption in wealth management.

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: Tackling Non Financial Misconduct and the FCA’s new Rules and Guidance
DESCRIPTION:From 1 September 2026\, wealth and advice firms will be subject to the FCA’s tougher stance on non-financial misconduct. This means that serious cases of bullying\, harassment\, or violence that lead to certain types of disciplinary action must be reported to the regulator\, not just handled internally.  On 12th December 2025\, the FCA published its Policy Statement (PS) 25/23\, confirming final Handbook guidance for firms in relation to tackling non-financial misconduct. \nIn this FREE 60-minute webinar\, employment lawyers Chris Holme and Shadia El Dardiry\, joined by regulatory lawyer Anousheh Bromfield of Clyde & Co cut through the complexity to address: \n\nWhat the new Rules and Handbook guidance mean in practice;\nWhat practical steps firms should be taking between now and 1 September;\nWhat are the implications going forward in terms of balancing employment law with regulatory duties.

SUMMARY:HR Briefing: Workplace Law 2026: The New Employment Rights Landscape and its Impact on Wealth Managers
DESCRIPTION:2026 is shaping up to be one of the most transformative years for UK workplace law in decades. With the Employment Rights Act 2025 now law and a programme of staged reform beginning in 2026\, employers and HR professionals must navigate a series of changes that will impact hiring\, dismissal\, pay and benefits\, trade union relations\, and workplace culture. \nIn this 60-minute online briefing\, Chris Holme and Shadia El Dardiry translate legal developments into practical business insight\, giving HR leaders the knowledge to protect people\, reduce risk\, and future-proof policies. \nKey discussion points include: \n\nWill 2026 represent a fundamental regulatory reset in employment law? What does the ERA really mean for employer risk\, governance\, and workplace culture?\nHow will day-one rights to sick pay and family leave impact workforce management? What practical steps do you need to take?\nWhat does the new duty to take “all reasonable steps” to prevent harassment require in practice and how can firms really embed culture change?\nChanges to Unfair Dismissal rights and redundancy processes – how to respond to changes impacting consultation processes and fair dismissal

SUMMARY:The AI Leaders Incubator Programme 2026
DESCRIPTION:2023 woke us up to AI.\n2024 got us experimenting with AI.\n2025 proved what’s possible.\n2026 is when wealth managers scale AI with discipline\, confidence and measurable ROI.\nAcross wealth management\, boards are united by a singular ambition: to deliver sustainable\, substantially higher performance across every dimension of the business. And that must happen within the boundaries of: \n\nLegal and regulatory expectations\nEthical and responsible deployment\nCredible stewardship for clients and markets\n\nIn this new operating reality\, AI is not a technology choice — it is a strategic imperative. A catalyst to unlock productivity\, elevate client service\, accelerate compliance accuracy\, and build future-proof operating models. \nYet many wealth and advice firms remain stuck in pilot mode: high activity — low impact. \nThat’s why PIMFA and Publicis Sapient have joined forces as partners to create the AI Leaders Incubator Programme\, combining PIMFA’s reach across the UK wealth and advice sector with Publicis Sapient’s real-world transformation and AI delivery expertise. Together\, we’ve co-designed the curriculum\, bringing practitioner insight\, live case studies\, and frameworks drawn from projects already shaping digital transformation in wealth management.” \nWhat can you expect from the AI Leaders Incubator Programme? \nThe AI Leaders Incubator is a focused\, hands-on learning experience delivered across two highly immersive days. You’ll cut through the hype and tackle the core strategic questions facing boards today: Where does AI genuinely move the needle? How do we scale it responsibly? And how do we deliver measurable\, sustainable performance gains within a regulated environment? \nThis is not a conference. \nThere are no panels\, no passive sessions\, no “AI tourism.” \nIt is a strategic design environment where leaders work alongside AI practitioners and transformation experts to: \n\nTurn industry-relevant AI use cases into real prototypes\nBuild credible business cases with measurable ROI and compliance considerations\nDesign governance frameworks that satisfy regulatory expectations\nDevelop the confidence\, capability\, and narrative to lead AI adoption at scale\n\nThrough live experimentation\, design thinking\, guided hacks\, and board-ready business case work\, you’ll graduate with: \n\nA validated AI use-case and working prototype\nA board-ready business case & ROI model\nA practical 30-day implementation roadmap\nThe confidence and competence to champion responsible AI across your firm\n\nThis programme exists to solve the industry’s current friction point: most firms are experimenting with AI — but few are delivering impact at scale. The Incubator gives you the frameworks\, tools\, and executive confidence to change that — turning intent into traction\, and traction into transformational performance. \nWhat challenges will the AI Leaders Incubator support you in overcoming? \n\nTightening Margins? Learn to Automate What Matters. Discover how AI can streamline manual processes\, reduce inefficiency\, and free up capacity for high-value client work — turning cost pressure into productivity gains.\nRising Client Expectations? Redefine Personalisation at Scale. Build and test AI use-cases that deliver smarter insights\, hyper-personalised experiences\, and faster decision-making — giving your firm a competitive edge in client trust and satisfaction.\nRegulatory Complexity? Design with Compliance in Mind. Translate complex FCA expectations into AI-ready frameworks that embed accountability\, explainability\, and governance into every workflow — before the regulator asks.\nOutdated Playbooks? Reimagine How Your Firm Operates. Break free from siloed business models. Collaborate across functions to design AI solutions that connect compliance\, operations\, and client experience into one intelligent ecosystem.\nManual Processes? Make AI Your New Colleague. Move beyond “pilot paralysis.” In this incubator\, you’ll test\, refine\, and deploy AI tools that turn repetitive tasks into automated intelligence — built responsibly\, for real impact.\nChoosing the Right AI Strategy? Build for Your Reality.\nLearn how to align AI ambition with your firm’s size\, data maturity\, and risk appetite — selecting scalable use-cases that deliver measurable\, defensible results.\nProve the Business Case. Gain the tools to track\, quantify\, and communicate AI’s impact — from cost savings to client experience — and translate innovation into tangible returns.\n\nThe AI Leaders Incubator does more than teach AI — it accelerates intelligent transformation. Here’s how: \n\nElite practitioner mentorship – Work shoulder-to-shoulder with AI strategists who have already delivered real solutions — not theory.\nBuild in the arena – Roll up your sleeves in live labs to design\, test\, and refine AI workflows and decision-support tools tailored to wealth and advice.\nReal frameworks\, real outcomes – Adopt proven playbooks to spot high-value use cases\, manage risk and accountability under UK regulation\, and measure commercial ROI from day one.\nA peer group that pushes you further – Join an action-oriented cohort of COOs\, CTOs\, transformation leads\, and compliance heads shaping the next decade of wealth management.\nDemo Day — with purpose – Pitch your prototype or live AI use-case to peers\, partners\, and stakeholders — secure adoption pathways\, budget confidence\, and executive buy-in.\n\nWho’s the AI Leaders Incubator for? \nYou’re a senior leader — not a coder. No background in IT or data science required. You’re the decision-maker in your firm\, shaping digital strategy\, driving innovation\, and making the big calls on investment\, risk\, and transformation. You’re ready to turn data and AI into your next competitive advantage. The AI Leaders Incubator is built for senior executives who want to move beyond experimentation and make AI real — embedding it into operations\, culture\, and strategy to deliver measurable business results. \nEnrolment \nEnrolment is now open for cohort one of the AI Leaders Incubator. Places are limited and are offered on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nStill have questions? \nPlease contact:\nPhilip Allen\, Head of Learning\nlearning@pimfa.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: Move Faster\, Cost Less: Winning with Agentic AI
DESCRIPTION:Wealth management firms are under pressure from every angle\, margin compression\, rising regulatory scrutiny\, operational drag and decision-making that is simply too slow for the market they are now in. \nThis is not a workflow problem. It is an operating model problem. \nThe next winners will not be the firms that bolt AI onto legacy ways of working. They will be the firms that redesign how decisions are made\, actions are triggered and control is maintained using agentic AI to move faster\, operate leaner and scale with confidence. \nIn this high-impact 60-minute webinar with Publicis Sapient\, we’ll discuss: \n\nwhy layered workflows and slow decisions are eroding margin\nwhere firms are losing time\, capacity and competitive momentum\nhow leading wealth managers are using agentic AI to redesign decision architecture\nhow to accelerate execution without losing control\, oversight or regulatory confidence

SUMMARY:M&A Due Diligence: Getting It Right Before (and After) the Deal
DESCRIPTION:Synergies stall.\nCosts rise.\nRegulatory issues emerge.\nValue leaks. \nIn 2026\, due diligence is no longer a technical exercise. It is a strategic capability and a competitive advantage. \nIn this high-impact\, half-day session led by Grant Thornton and supported by Farrer & Co.\, senior deal leaders will unpack how acquiring firms are upgrading financial\, regulatory\, operational and technology due diligence to protect margin\, reduce risk and accelerate growth. \nWhy attend*? \nThis is a practical\, peer-led session focused on real-world outcomes\, not theory. We will explore: \n• Where due diligence typically breaks down in wealth and advice transactions\n• The hidden risks that only emerge post-completion\n• How strong due diligence protects deal value and improves supervisory confidence\n• The operational and technology challenges that undermine synergy cases\n• What leading firms are doing differently in 2026 \nYou will also hear directly from senior industry leaders on the questions they wish they had asked before signing. \n*Attendance is open to senior leaders from PIMFA full member firms and FCA-regulated firms. To help maintain the integrity of the discussion\, PIMFA may review registrations and reserves the right to decline attendance where the eligibility criteria are not met.

DESCRIPTION:Due to the tube strike scheduled at 12 midday on Thursday 23rd April\, we have taken the decision to move the date and venue for Conduct & Culture Roundtable.\nNew date: 12 MAY 2026- 9am- 3pm\nVenue: Macfarlanes LLP\, 20 Cursitor Street\, London EC4A 1LT\nWe are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.\n  \n  \nCulture Has Moved From The Margins to the Regulatory Frontline.\nThe FCA’s sharpened focus on non-financial misconduct\, accountability\, and Consumer Duty 2.0 is forcing firms to answer a harder question: Can you prove your culture not just describe it? \nThis year’s Conduct & Culture Roundtable\, in partnership with Protecht\, Elephant’s don’t Forget and DAC Beachcroft\, brings together senior leaders\, SMF holders\, and culture champions* from across UK wealth management to explore what good really looks like now and what will be expected next. \nThis is not a theory-led conference. \nIt’s a practical\, peer-led roundtable\, under Chatham House Rule\, designed for firms that want culture to hold up under board challenge and FCA scrutiny. \nWhat We’ll Discuss  \n1. From Statements to Evidence: Move beyond values on the wall and staff surveys. Learn what boards and regulators actually trust as evidence of culture and which metrics are quietly failing in 2026. \n2. Consumer Duty in Practice: Consumer Duty isn’t a framework; it’s a cultural test. Hear how leading firms are embedding Duty into decision-making\, behaviour\, and outcomes\, not just controls and MI. \n3. Cultural Measurement: What Works (and What Doesn’t): Unpack the indicators that genuinely influence behaviour and governance and why static MI\, vanity metrics\, and annual surveys no longer provide assurance. \n4. Non-Financial Misconduct: Situations & Scenarios: Through live case studies\, examine how firms are identifying\, escalating\, and acting on non-financial misconduct — and which outcomes truly stand up to FCA scrutiny. \n5. Future-Proofing Culture & Conduct: A forward-looking discussion on what boards and senior leaders need to do now to stay ahead of the next wave of regulatory and reputational risk. \nThe Take-away \nYou’ll leave with: \n\nA clearer view of what credible culture evidence looks like in 2026\nPractical approaches to measuring and governing culture\nInsight into how peers are handling grey-area conduct and misconduct\nA forward-looking perspective on board and SMF accountability\n\nWho Should Attend \nIf you’re responsible for setting\, challenging\, or evidencing culture\, this roundtable is for you. \n\nBoard members\, Chairs & NEDs\nCEOs and SMF holders\nCompliance\, Risk & Financial Crime leaders\nHR\, Culture & People leaders\nConduct and Consumer Duty leads\n\n*Attendance is open to senior leaders from PIMFA full member firms and FCA-regulated firms. To help maintain the integrity of the discussion\, PIMFA may review registrations and reserves the right to decline attendance where the eligibility criteria are not met. \nWhy is this event different \n✔️ Senior-only\, invite-led audience\n✔️ Real case studies\, not hypotheticals\n✔️ Open\, Chatham House-style discussion\n✔️ Practical insight you can take back to your board\n✔️ Designed around what the FCA is really testing now

SUMMARY:PIMFA Webinar: Data as a Product: Turning Your Fragmented Data into Decision Advantage 2026
DESCRIPTION:Most advice firms are not short of data. They are short of data they can actually use. \nCritical information is often trapped across disconnected systems\, buried in silos and too far removed from the decisions that matter most. The result is slower decision-making\, weaker insight and AI ambition built on shaky foundations. \nThe wealth managers moving ahead are doing something different. They are treating data as a product: structured\, usable and built around the decisions the business needs to make faster\, better and with more confidence. \nIn this FREE 60-minute webinar\, in partnership with Publicis Sapient\, we explore what that shift looks like in practice\, from connecting fragmented data\, intelligence\, and AI into a unified decisioning layer that enables faster\, more confident business decisions. \nKey takeaways: \n\nHow to connect fragmented data into a unified intelligence layer across the business\nWhat it takes to structure data as a product to enable scale\, ownership\, and AI-readiness\nHow to embed AI into workflows to move from insight to action\nWhere leading firms are creating speed\, clarity\, and cross-functional decision advantage

SUMMARY:The AI Leaders Incubator Programme June 2026
DESCRIPTION:2023 woke us up to AI.\n2024 got us experimenting with AI.\n2025 proved what’s possible.\n2026 is when wealth managers scale AI with discipline\, confidence and measurable ROI.\nMost firms are no longer asking whether AI matters. They are asking where it delivers real value\, how to govern it properly\, and how to move beyond pilots without creating new risk. \nThat is where the PIMFA AI Leaders Incubator Programme comes in. \nDelivered in partnership with Publicis Sapient\, this hands-on\, one-day programme is designed for senior leaders in wealth and advice who need to turn AI ambition into practical\, defensible action. It is not a conference\, not passive learning\, and not AI theatre. It is a working environment where firms test ideas\, shape use cases\, build business cases and leave with a clearer route to execution. \nCohort 1 in February 2026 has already shown what this can unlock. \nLeaders with little or no coding experience from firms including Quilter\, Evelyn Partners and Absolute Financial reported a 50% increase in confidence in sponsoring or constructively challenging AI initiatives inside their firms. \n100% said the Incubator improved their ability to identify strong AI use cases and strengthened cross-functional collaboration. \n75% said it improved their ability to prioritise AI initiatives based on risk and value. \nWhat participants valued most: \n\nA more actionable way to think about risk and prioritisation\nGreater confidence to think bigger about AI\, without losing control\nPractical tools to build a compelling business case\nA clearer blueprint for turning ambition into implementation\n\nCohort 1 left with more than inspiration. They left with a clearer grip on risk\, a stronger business case for action and greater confidence in how to turn AI ambition into practical progress. \n“A more actionable way to tackle risk and prioritisation.” \n“Permission to think bigger about what AI could do\, without losing sight of human oversight\, validation and learning.” \n“The right tools to build a compelling business case for AI\, grounded in meaningful\, practical value across the business.” \n“A clearer sense that while AI can feel new and overwhelming\, implementation is tangible and practical if you follow a blueprint\, test\, learn and build with intent.” \nThe Incubator is built to help senior leaders answer the questions that matter most: \n\nWhere can AI genuinely improve performance?\nWhich use cases are worth backing?\nHow do we balance opportunity\, risk and regulation?\nHow do we build a credible business case for action?\n\nAs an Incubator participant\, you’ll work alongside seasoned AI practitioners and peers to develop use cases\, test ideas\, strengthen governance thinking and build a more confident narrative for change inside your firms. \nAs a senior leader\, you’ll leave the Incubator with: \n\nclearer\, higher-value AI use cases\nstronger cross-functional alignment\na sharper view of risk\, value and prioritisation\ngreater confidence to sponsor\, challenge and lead AI initiatives internally\n\nWho’s the AI Leaders Incubator for? \nYou’re a senior leader\, not a coder. No background in IT or data science required. You’re the decision-maker in your firm\, shaping digital strategy\, driving innovation\, and making the big calls on investment\, risk\, and transformation. You’re ready to turn data and AI into your next competitive advantage. The AI Leaders Incubator is built for senior executives who want to move beyond experimentation and make AI real\, embedding it into operations\, culture\, and strategy to deliver measurable business results. \nEnrolment \nEnrolment is now open for Cohort 2 of the AI Leaders Incubator. Places are limited to one senior leader per firm and will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis. Please note that each applicant’s level of seniority will be reviewed by PIMFA and admission will be subject to our final approval. \nStill have questions? \nPlease contact:\nPhilip Allen\, Head of Learning\nlearning@pimfa.co.uk \n
