Welcome to our latest briefing on liquidity risk management in investment funds, where we explore the evolving regulatory landscape and J.P. Morgan Securities Services’ innovative solutions. This paper underscores the critical importance of liquidity risk management in maintaining financial stability and protecting investors.

Global regulatory developments

Liquidity risk has become a top priority for global regulators, particularly with the increasing influence of Non-Bank Financial Intermediaries (NBFIs) on financial stability. Recent events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the UK gilt market crisis, have accelerated the development of policies aimed at mitigating systemic risks. The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) has expanded its monitoring framework to include NBFIs, emphasizing the need to address both funding and market liquidity.

International standards and policies

Internationally, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) have revised their recommendations to tackle liquidity mismatches in Open-End Funds (OEFs). Meanwhile, the European Union, along with countries like Ireland and Luxembourg, is actively enhancing macroprudential frameworks to improve liquidity management within investment funds.

US and UK regulatory initiatives

In the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed amendments to strengthen liquidity risk management for mutual funds and ETFs. Similarly, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) continues to prioritize liquidity management in OEFs, with ongoing reviews and consultations.
