Mikkel Bates

Having started his career in investment at the London Stock Exchange during Big Bang, Mikkel spent many years in asset management marketing and IFA support roles at Fidelity, Prudential, Prolific (now Aberdeen Standard) and Société Générale (Man GLG), and was then founding Head of Marketing at the innovative residential property investment company, Castle Trust.  This all contributed to an understanding of good product governance and clear client communication, earning Plain English Campaign Crystal Marks for his client-facing literature.

Mikkel subsequently morphed into dealing with regulatory developments as the Regulatory Manager for fund data provider Financial Express (now FE fundinfo), helping them to provide document and data solutions that deliver greater disclosure under UCITS, PRIIPs, MiFID II and other UK and European regulations.
