The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published policy statement PS25/4, finalising new rules to refine the investment research market by allowing fund managers to combine research and execution costs under a joint payment option, subject to defined guardrails. These changes implement recommendations from the 2023 UK Investment Research Review and feedback from consultation paper CP24/21.
