Navigating new AML/CFT regulations for investment advisers

FinCEN has expanded the definition of “financial institutions” under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) to include Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) and Exempt Reporting Advisers (ERAs). This significant change now requires RIAs and ERAs to implement a robust Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) program by January 1, 2026. 

This webinar will break down the requirements, timelines, and practical steps firms can take to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. We’ll also explore how global AML/CFT frameworks—particularly in the UK and Europe—can offer valuable insights to help RIAs and ERAs develop effective compliance programs and stay ahead of regulatory challenges.

This webinar covers:

• Understanding FinCEN’s proposed regulations
• Global perspective on AML/CFT requirements
• Key compliance steps for RIAs and ERAs
• Practical insights to streamline readiness efforts
• Live Q&A with our speakers
