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.

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.
