The IFPR: what is the impact on capital structure?

The UK Investment Firm Prudential Regime or “IFPR” is a new streamlined and simplified regime for the prudential regulation of investment firms in the UK.

In December 2020, the FCA issued its first consultation paper (CP1) on the new UK prudential regime for MiFID investment firms - the Investment Firms Prudential Regime (IFPR). CP1's focus is on the first batch of chapters of the prudential sourcebook for MiFID investment firms known as MIFIDPRU. In this briefing, we unpack MIFIDPRU's third chapter and the related transitional provision on which the FCA is consulting in CP1.

In this second briefing on CP 1, we unpack MIFIDPRU's third chapter and the related transitional provision on which the FCA is consulting in CP1. MIFIDPRU 3 will contain the "own funds" rules, in essence, the rules on the composition of a MiFID firm's regulatory capital.
