• Adding new assets and fund managers to the Transact platform.
• Maintaining a good understanding of regulations such as Consumer Duty, MiFID II and SDR, how they impact our business and responsibility for ensuring that associated asset data stored is accurate and up to date;
• Continuously ensure all assets are suitable for distribution to our client database in line with regulatory and business requirements;
• Ongoing asset reviews to ensure continued wrapper compliance;
• Maintenance of applicable static asset data in order to ensure ongoing accuracy;
• Completing a range of fund manager KYC/AML and account opening documentation;
• Managing the implementation of fund manager agreements.
