In accordance with MiFIDPRU 8.3, the Firm discloses the composition of its own regulatory funds. The Firm maintains capital in excess of its regulatory requirements, ensuring adequate financial resources to support its business operations.
As at 31 December 2024, the Firm’s total regulatory own funds amounted to 6,137,282 GBP.

The Firm has adopted a remuneration policy and related procedures that comply with the requirements of chapter 19G of the FCA's Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls Sourcebook (“SYSC”).
In accordance with MiFIDPRU 8.6.2 the Firm makes the following qualitative remuneration disclosures:
Blantyre Capital Limited does not benefit from exceptional government intervention.
Performance reflects the long-term performance of the staff member as well as performance in excess of the staff member’s job description and terms of employment, and includes discretionary pension benefits and carried interest, as referred to in SYSC 19G.1.27R.
Total remuneration is based on balancing both financial and non-financial indicators together with the performance of the Firm and the staff member’s business unit.
The Firm ensures that fixed and variable components of the total remuneration are appropriately balanced to enable the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration. The Firm monitors fixed to variable compensation to ensure SYSC 19G is adhered to with respect to Total Remuneration.
For the performance year ending 31 December 2024:
In late 2024, the FCA issued a consultation (CP24/23 jointly with PRA CP16/24) proposing reforms to the remuneration regime in dual-regulated firms. One key proposal is to streamline FCA’s SYSC 19D by cross-referencing the PRA Remuneration Rules, thereby reducing duplicative requirements.
No immediate changes to MiFIDPRU 8 remuneration disclosure rules are finalised as of the year ending 31 December 2024, but the Firm will continue to monitor developments and, where applicable, update future disclosures accordingly.
