The FCA has given regulatory approval for the launch of the UK’s first Long-term Asset Fund — an open-ended investment vehicle designed to help pension funds to invest in private equity and other illiquid assets. 

The FCA has recently sought views on ideas to further improve asset management regulation with a more modern and tailored regime, to make sure the regime takes account of developments in technology and supports innovation.

The FCA’s aim is to provide investors with ways to unlock the broadest range of investment capabilities and the LTAF regime will allow pension savers to invest in private assets.
