Disclosure
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Investment Firm Prudential Regime ('IFPR') as prescribed in MIFIDPRU 8 of the FCA Handbook, the Group has prepared documents for each of the Group’s FCA regulated entities.
The documents contain relevant information regarding the entities' capital adequacy, risk management objectives and policies, governance and remuneration policies and practices.
Tax Strategy
Effective risk management is crucial to the Group’s ongoing success and is embedded
across the organisation, ensuring key risks are identified and effectively managed.
The Group’s business activities naturally expose it to strategic, financial
and operational risks inherent in the nature of the business it undertakes
and the financial, market and regulatory environments in which it operates.
The Group recognises the importance of understanding and managing
these risks and that it cannot place a cap or limit on all of the risks to
which the Group is exposed. However, effective risk management ensures
that risks are managed to an acceptable level. The Board, through its
Group Risk Committee, is ultimately responsible for the implementation
of an appropriate risk strategy, which has been achieved using an
integrated Risk Management Framework.
The main areas covered by the Risk Management Framework are:
- identifying, evaluating and monitoring of the principal risks
to which the Group is exposed; - setting the risk appetite of the Board in order to achieve its strategic
objectives; and - establishing and maintaining governance, policies, systems and
controls to ensure the Group is operating within the stated
risk appetite.
