This approach would align perfectly with the UK&#8217;s current economic priorities, as AR regulatory hosts play a crucial role in generating a healthy pipeline of new financial services businesses. The best principal firms provide the necessary oversight to ensure compliance and help AR firms build their infrastructure.
