A deep understanding of the financial services industry

We provide a range of services to all parts of the financial services industry including investors, asset managers, administrators and funds.

We understand what matters to you, enabling us to design solutions and provide timely advice that is pragmatic and adds genuine value.

As a multi-discipline firm with offices in key financial centres including London and the Channel Islands, and strong international connections through our membership of IAPA – a global association of independent accountancy and business advisory firms with 203 member firms in 69 different countries – we are well placed to support UK and international clients across a large number of jurisdictions.

Insurance

With the recent introduction of Solvency II, events such as Brexit and the US and European elections and with upcoming financial reporting and governance reforms (IFRS 17 & Senior Insurance Managers Regime), the insurance industry is experiencing a period, of what seems to be, continuous change.

Such change introduces challenges although change and challenge is not exclusive to regulation. With increased capacity in the market and continued low interest rates, there continues to be pressure on premium pricing making it an ever challenging environment for businesses.

At Price Bailey, we are able to provide a number of services to support businesses operating in the insurance sector. We offer a range of services from outsourcing, advisory and compliance services.

With low rates of interest on deposits and constant changes in the UK tax regime, individuals looking to invest and/or protect their wealth are currently faced with difficult choices. From planning to investment management, we can support individual investors with a tailored service that can meet all of your financial needs and aspirations.

Asset managers/Funds

We work closely with both UK and offshore funds, investment managers, owners and third party service providers (administrators, custodians, brokers).

We understand first hand the challenges faced by those managing funds, trying to balance the cost and challenges associated with increasing regulation while maintaining competitive advantage and delivering strong returns to investors. For many, this has become increasingly difficult in volatile and low yield environments.
