SUMMARY:Market Abuse 2025 refresher for Wealth Managers
DESCRIPTION:The FCA continues to focus on market abuse\, and its messages and publications indicate that it is not looking to turn the heat down anytime soon. \nThe regulator expects all wealth management firms to have a deep understanding of their market abuse risk and build control frameworks that are both proportionate and effective. However\, recent market abuse reviews by Ocorian’s Regulatory & Compliance  practice indicate that they are struggling to properly assess\, understand\, and articulate the specific market abuse risks inherent in their business. \nIn this live\, two-hour interactive\, online training course  Ocorian consultants reveal how wealth firms can effectively meet their obligations to detect and prevent market abuse\, from setting adequate surveillance frameworks to ensuring they have appropriate governance arrangements in place. \nBy attending this two-hour refresher session\, you will be able to: \n\nGrasp what the FCA expects from you to prevent market abuse in 2025\nUnderstand where wealth firms fall short of FCA expectations\nRecognise and address common market abuse risk areas in your firm\nImprove your monitoring ongoing compliance risk\n\nAs with all our PIMFA live online learning sessions\, we provide ‘surgery’ time at the end of this session with the trainer to support you applying what you’ve learnt immediately back into your firm. \n*You may bring along a colleague FREE to this course\, please book 2 places and use code 9qwytrsu at checkout for 50% off.

SUMMARY:PIMFA HR Briefing 2025: From Policy to Practice: HR’s Role in FCA Misconduct Rules
DESCRIPTION:Non-financial misconduct is under comprehensive scrutiny from all fronts. \nFrom 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 disciplinary action must be reported to the regulator\, not just handled internally. \nIn this FREE 60-minute webinar\, employment lawyers Chris Holme and Anousheh Bromfield of Clyde & Co cut through the complexity to show HR professionals what the change in the Rules mean in practice\, how to update policies and investigations\, and how to balance employment law with regulatory duties\, and how to deal with non-financial misconduct between now and when the new Rules come into force.\nAttending this session will help HR professionals: \n1. Understand the FCA’s broadened remit on non-financial misconduct and its implications for HR.\n2. Ensure compliance ahead of the new rules taking effect next year and understanding what to do in the interim.\n3. Map the impact of the new rules on your policies\, procedures and frameworks\n4. Get started on assessing current COCON and FIT frameworks to identify gaps against new rules and proposed guidance\n5. Distinguish between misconduct that is purely HR-managed and that which must be reported to the FCA.

SUMMARY:Culture & Inclusion Roundtable Event
DESCRIPTION:PIMFA\, as a longtime advocate of DE&I\, both for its ethical merits\, and a deep seated belief in its importance for a well performing business culture.  We will be hosting a half day roundtable in October\, under Chatham house rules\, to facilitate a dialogue and through discussions of good practices identify what firms are doing to create inclusive cultures\, the impact it is creating and  what companies are doing to remain true to their values and overcome challenges and pushback. \nPIMFA CEO Liz Field\, and PIMFA Chair\, The Rt. Hon John Gummer\, Lord Deben\, will be speaking to the subject and hosting roundtable discussions on this important topic with additional guest speakers being drawn from previous winners of the PIMFA D&I Awards\, to discuss their pragmatic advice on inclusion implementation and the changing landscape.

SUMMARY:Getting Financial Promotions Right in a Post Consumer Duty ERA
DESCRIPTION:PIMFA member firms take note. \nIn 2024\, the FCA identified and intervened against around 20\,000 non-compliant financial promotions from authorised firms and has recently deployed new technology to shut down or block 1\,600 websites promoting financial services without permission taking action against influencers (“finfluencers”) for illegal promotions. \nIn the Consumer Duty era\, the FCA expects your firm to go beyond ensuring that all your promotions are ‘clear\, fair and not misleading’ and actively challenging your firm to achieve good outcomes for all customers\, especially the vulnerable. But what does that mean in practice? \nIn this online training session\, you will examine good and bad examples of recent promotional campaigns and assess potential non-compliance with your current and future campaigns. By improving your grasp of good practice\, you will be better prepared to protect your firm\, brand reputation\, and competitive advantage and respond rapidly to unexpected\, consequential events. \nOver two hours\, Ocorian’s Abi Reilly will help you: \n\nAssess the potential risks of your marketing and financial promotions and strengthen your approach against the latest FCA guidance.\nMitigate the threat of non-compliance with current and future changes in financial promotion regulations using a proven process\nEnsure your approach to social media and customer communications doesn’t attract the wrong kind of attention.\nEnhance the review and approval process for financial promotions in line with proposed new anti-greenwashing rules.\nUpdate your social media and influencer marketing governance\, policies\, and contracts with ‘finfluencers’ and agencies to stop consumer harm.\n\nWho should attend \n\nCompliance and legal\nMarketing\nProduct Development\nSenior managers responsible for the marketing activities of the firm\n\n*You may bring along a colleague FREE to this course\, please book 2 places and use code 8prbx3da at checkout for 50% off.

SUMMARY:PIMFA Learning: Authentic Leadership: How to thrive as a female leader in wealth and finance-2025
DESCRIPTION:According to the Financial Conduct Authority\, ‘senior jobs are still mostly for the boys’. And\, whilst more regulated financial services firms are treating gender diversity as a business priority\, the evidence on a sector level would suggest women still remain under-represented at senior management and leadership levels. \nAs a leadership development program for women in finance and wealth\, we directly address the challenges women executives often face\, helping them to develop the confidence\, connections and actions needed to achieve their potential. \nThis unique coaching programme delivered virtually by executive coach\, Caroline Holt\, is endorsed by The Institute of Leadership & Management and CPD accredited by CISI. \nThe PIMFA Authentic Leadership programme is a six-month programme divided into six training modules\, with a new module released every four weeks. \nIt is also an arena for sharing experiences\, practising the tools – as well as a place to get inspiration\, support and the motivation to help you achieve your goals. \n

SUMMARY:Cyber Security: Capture The Flag
DESCRIPTION:Capture the Flag immerses you in a sensory-rich and hands-on learning environment. Guided by our security trainers and penetration testers\, you will learn how to attack software applications and networks using the tools and techniques employed by real-life threat actors. \nWhy Capture the Flag? \nSecurity isn’t always front and centre for engineering teams. Formal training in this space is still the exception\, not the rule. But with threats on the rise\, that gap can leave your software exposed. \nOur hands-on events are built to change that. Tailored for developers\, infrastructure engineers\, and security professionals alike\, these sessions are designed to embed security thinking into everyday engineering practice. You’ll learn how to spot\, understand and mitigate vulnerabilities early – long before they make it to production. \nThis capture the flag event will help you to: \nGlimpse into a hacker’s mindset and motivations\nUnderstand common attack vectors and how to mitigate them\nEmbrace shift-left and secure-by-design principles\nDevelop confidence in your ability to write\, test and ship secure code\nAvoid the common security flaws introduced during development cycles \nFor more information please email MariaF@pimfa.co.uk

SUMMARY:PIMFA HR Briefing- DEI: What now\, what next for HR? June 2025
DESCRIPTION:In April\, the FCA announced that it will no longer bring forward proposals requiring many firms to develop a diversity and inclusion strategy\, collect and share data\, and set targets to address underrepresentation. That said\, the regulator still believes that DEI can deliver improved internal governance\, decision-making\, and risk management. Contrast this with the rollback on DEI initiatives by the US government with many firms like Google\, META\, and Adobe following suit and scaling back their diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) efforts; where does that leave HR in the UK advice firms leading and managing their firms’ DEI initiatives? \nIn this session of PIMFA’s HR Briefing\, delivered by the employment team at Clyde & Co.\, HR leaders will share their strategies and approaches to DEI\, equality\, and weaving inclusivity into the fabric of workplace culture. \nYou won’t want to miss this discussion\, so secure your FREE place today!s

DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to demonstrate operational resilience by 31 March 2025? \nBe under no illusion your firm’s Operational Resilience Self-Assessment document will be the first item the FCA requests to see when assessing your firm’s ability to deliver important business services throughout operational disruptions such as cyber-attacks\, technology failures or third-party disruptions. \nAnd with the FCA’s deadline of 31st March 2025 fast approaching for boards of enhanced SMCR firms to review and approve their written self-assessment\, now is the time to ensure this essential document demonstrates to the regulator your firm’s ability to prevent\, adapt to\, respond to\, and recover from disruptions. \nHelping you get your report right first time \nIn this live\, tutor-led online course\, Richard Preece\, Chair of PIMFA’s Operational Working Group\, assists you to avoid the pitfalls firms make when drafting your self-assessment\, ensuring that you can: \n1. Clearly articulate the FCA expectations for your firm’s operational resilience self-assessments\, including the required elements (important business services\, impact tolerances\, mapping\, scenario testing\, lessons learned\, vulnerabilities\, and communication strategy). You will receive guidance on the size and level of detail of the Self-Assessment document that’s proportionate to your firm’s activities. \n2. Construct a comprehensive self-assessment document that effectively demonstrates your firm’s full compliance with the regulation. This includes understanding the appropriate format\, size\, and content of the document. Time on the course has been allocated to provide guidance on addressing challenges like proportionality\, consumer harm mitigation\, and justification of methodologies. \n3. Identify and effectively manage key challenges associated with operational resilience\, particularly those relating to outsourcing (both intra-group and third-party)\, and 4th parties. Through case studies and examples\, your trainer will offer practical solutions and best practices to mitigate third-party risks. \n4. Implement a process for regularly reviewing and updating the self-assessment document to reflect changes in the business\, market conditions\, and lessons learned. Your trainer will emphasise the nature of the self-assessment and strategies for ongoing maintenance and governance. \n5. Follow a proven plan to enhance the sophistication of the self-assessment process over time\, improving the maturity of your firm’s operational resilience practices. The course will assist you in making progressive improvements in mapping\, scenario testing\, and vulnerability remediation\, particularly when there is a significant change to the business. \nWho should attend this course? \n• Board members who have questions or doubts about their firm’s Self-Assessment seek assurances that ‘nothing has been missed’ before approval is given. \n• Senior Managers\, typically the SMF24\, who\, in updating the firm’s self-assessment\, seeks to articulate how the firm plans to address the vulnerabilities to remain within the set impact tolerances in line with FCA expectations. \n• Heads of Operational Risk and Compliance looking to benchmark with their peers how their firm evidences the effects of disruptions and ensure financial stability. \nBring a colleague along for free!  \nUse voucher code XCEMPQ5U at checkout for 50% 2 tickets!
