Proposed Regulatory Framework for Transfer Schemes

The FSRA proposed a new Chapter 8A of the General Rulebook (GEN) establishing a proportionate framework for transfer schemes (transfers of business within ADGM), retaining mandatory court approval for insurance-business transfers while introducing lighter-touch requirements for other business transfers. Firms considering a portfolio or business transfer should review the proposed regime before the consultation closes.
