The Financial Conduct Authority proposes simplifying due diligence requirements for institutional investors by replacing prescriptive verification obligations with an assessment of risk alignment and investor appetite. The consultation also seeks to streamline transparency rules by reducing specified templates, removing the public-private delineation, and eliminating the requirement to report to Securitisation Repositories. Additional proposals include introducing a new modality for risk retention, creating exceptions to the ban on resecuritisation, and clarifying credit granting criteria. These changes apply to FCA-regulated firms, unauthorised entities acting as originators or SSPEs, and UK Securitisation Repositories, with comments requested by 18 May 2026.
