CRD IV for Investment Firms

The Financial Conduct Authority has published final Handbook rules and guidance to transpose the Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV) for FCA-authorised investment firms, UCITS management companies, and alternative investment fund managers. These regulations implement EU Basel III standards by establishing updated capital requirements and large exposure limits, while explicitly excluding credit institutions and Prudential Regulation Authority-supervised entities. The new framework takes effect on 1 January 2014 to meet the statutory transposition deadline.
