The coming change in US administration will see a front-loaded agenda of policy change in 2025. The reaction function of policy makers will be tested, with multi-lateral negotiations to be expected between the US and its trading partners – with uncertain results and even incongruent outcomes relative to current expectations. Adding to this, varying enthusiasm by central bankers and Treasury officials to lean on monetary and fiscal policy levers to stabilise growth, will see policy divergence and more importantly, policy miscalculation as the central theme over 2025.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a quick succession of exemptive relief orders since Commissioner Mark Uyeda was named acting chair of the agency just over a month ago, part of the agency’s overall efforts to ease regulations pushed by former Chair Gary Gensler.
The SEC issued four exemptive relief orders under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in February alone, compared to just three exemptions granted in all of 2024. Three of the recent actions were in response to industry calls for deadline extensions to recently adopted rules or the elimination of certain disclosure requirements.
Investment advisors breathed a “sigh of relief” when the agency extended the deadline for short sale disclosures by a year to Feb. 17, 2026, said Lori Weston, head of compliance at STP Investment Services. The Managed Funds Association and Alternative Investment Management Association had called on Uyeda in January to delay those reporting requirements, with MFA President Bryan Corbett saying in a statement that an extension would give alternative asset managers more time to build and test new systems, and receive SEC interpretive guidance.
