This seems to be a topic which is often covered in conversations within our office.

The compliance and regulatory markets have been growing at an alarming rate since the demise of Lehman Brothers and the start of the recession, and it seems whilst some other middle office functions have had steady growth, the compliance market has seen some astronomical growth, both within sell side and buy side organisations in London.

With the FSA introducing new policies and procedures on a regular basis, does this mean that the compliance markets are likely to continue growing for the foreseeable future?

Morgan McKinley has continued to see a demand for compliance ‘talent’ for the past three and a half years, especially within sales and trading compliance and Anti-Money Laundering (AML).

With the introduction of the new regulators in 2013, will this mean that the compliance market will continue to see growth above other markets? …I think so!
