Thank you to everyone who attended our FBC’s inaugural governance roundtable for Vertically Integrated firms yesterday.

Date added: 27 February 2026

We were delighted to see such a strong turnout for a very thought-provoking discussion.

Two themes that stood out were:
• The need for genuinely robust governance frameworks, particularly around conflicts of interest and Consumer Duty.
• A clear focus on evidence, outcomes and fair value, not whether solutions sit inside or outside the group.

A special thank you to our speakers David Moffat and Camilla Stowell, our chair Martyn Gilbey, and our hosts Tom Carroll, Sarah Odds and the team at Rathbones for their time and contributions.

For FBC corporate members, a memo summarising the key insights and takeaways from the event will be shared soon.

Next Event - FBC webinar: Effective oversight of investment managers for fund boards

In this Digital Meeting, FBC will explore how the evolving regulatory landscape and their firms’ governance is shaping fund boards’ oversight of investment managers (IMs). We share findings from a FBC’s own research into how fund boards are holding their IMs to account across a range of areas, such as alignment with investment objectives, capacity constraints, risk management, culture and conflicts to name but a few. Open to corporate members, register online via the FBC Member Portal.
