On October 12th, 2023, we hosted our annual alternative data conference in London and invited two legal experts to participate in our compliance panel titled: Is Investment Data Compliance and Regulation in Europe and the UK Lagging Behind the US?” Sonalini de Zoysa Gunasekera, Legal Counsel at Systematica Investments, and Anna Maleva-Otto, Partner at Schulte Roth + Zabel LLP joined to discuss the complexities surrounding the current state of alternative data compliance and regulation happening in Europe and the UK as opposed to the US. In this report, we expand on various topics highlighted during the panel session and discuss the evolving regulatory landscape. Key legal considerations including insider trading and MNPI and how they are treated in different jurisdictions are discussed first, and more recent financial data considerations are highlighted later.
