The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has announced an investigation into potential conflicts of interest among firms managing private assets, aiming to determine if investors are being adversely affected. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance transparency and protect investor interests in private markets, which include private equity and hedge funds. The regulator's review will examine the practices of firms managing these assets to ensure they are acting in the best interests of their clients, promoting fair competition and maintaining market integrity, key aspects of financial regulation and investor protection.
