AIMA and ACC’s policy vision is built around two core themes:

  • Supporting growth and innovation across the economy: The alternative investment sector is ready to play a key role in supporting UK growth and innovation by providing funding to SMEs and mid-market firms to help them scale up their operations.  Reforms to the regulation of the non-bank lending sector will unlock billions of pounds of finance and ensure UK businesses have access to the capital they need to invest, grow and support job creation.  We also highlight how the Government's commitment to Long-Term Asset Funds (LTAF), a UK Asset Holding Company (AHC) regime, and reforms to pension rules will support the ability of SMEs to invest, scale up and innovate.
     
  • Supporting UK-wide job creation in the fund management sector: The Government is committed to levelling up economic prosperity, which will require the creation of new, well-paid jobs across the UK.  We believe that the fund management industry is well placed to be a source of new jobs outside of London and the South East of England, particularly if the UK can position itself as a ‘one-stop shop’ for professional investor fund management.  We also examine the way in which regulation and the tax framework can be adapted to make the UK a world-leader in terms of the sophistication of its regulatory environment, encouraging global firms to create jobs in the UK.
