Private dinner with Ashley Alder, Chair of the Financial Conduct Authority
12 November 2025
UK capital markets

This senior level dinner will be a moderated discussion under the Chatham House rule on the evolving political framework around financial services regulation, how the FCA has responded, and the priorities for the FCA in the coming year.
We are inviting a small curated group of senior executives from across the industry. I very much hope you can join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion and would appreciate a swift reply.
