Asset managers and authorisation

The authorisation process

• early stages - things to consider before applying
• pre-application - preparing your application
• application - making your application
• after authorisation - what you need to do once you are authorised

About these pages

These web pages are part of our asset manager authorisation hub, which aims to remove unnecessary barriers to the regulatory journey of an asset manager while still maintaining our high regulatory standards, by:

• improving access to the FCA and public information shared by us on our website and Handbook
• building knowledge of firms by providing guides to our processes and systems, organising open days, roundtables and seminars on key regulatory topics
• simplifying regulatory processes by streamlining existing processes and taking a more pragmatic approach
• engaging with firms by committing more time towards pre-application meetings
• helping firms transition from authorisation to supervision
