The UK’s FCA has chosen a former investment banker to head the watchdog’s operations in the US.
Tash Miah, who has previously worked at Morgan Stanley, has a background in sales and trading covering hedge fund clients. This included a spell in Hong Kong from 2018 to 2019.
“Tash Miah has been with the FCA since 2022, working in its international division covering non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI) and leading the financial stability engagement group (FSEG),” the FCA said in a press release.
In a major development last week, the FCA announced it was establishing a presence in the United States (US) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) for the first time.
The regulator said Miah had already started her new role and was working out of the British Embassy in Washington, DC.
“Tash will work closely with the Department for Business and Trade to advance UK-US financial services policy and regulatory cooperation, and support financial firms in the US to navigate UK regulation,” the press release reads.
