DAVOS, Switzerland Usually, it is the banks that are fighting efforts to impose new regulations on the industry. Now, it is foreign governments fighting against bank regulations in the United States.

As January winds down, you should have received most of the paperwork that youll need to file your taxes. If youre like most FCN readers and most Americans in general youll be e-filing this year.

Managing director, global head of strategy and implementation, regional head of transition management EMEA, Michael Gardner said there has been a high frequency of pre-trade assessments and analysis before transitions, which he has interpreted as indications of pension funds looking to re-risk.

He said the lack of certainty in the markets is what has slowed pension funds from moving. “I think
