FBC adviser, and distribution expert, Simon Hynes, was joined by:

  • Birgit Sammer, Head of Distribution Oversight/Conducting Officer, Invesco Management S.A.
  • Chris Town, Deputy Head of Compliance at Columbia Threadneedle Investments
  • Laurence Mumford, Distribution Governance Director at M&G plc.

During this meeting, we also touched on some of the themes of FBC’s forthcoming proprietary research on distribution oversight, and the extent to which it is being undertaken by UK & UCITS fund managers. This included a focus on the role of the AFM’s board in overseeing distribution activities as well as examples of good practice evident in AFMs current processes.

There was also the opportunity for questions to our panel.
