UK fund managers should prepare for costly changes to their business models after Brexit, according to an influential European politician who has warned financial services firms are "far too complacent" about the risks of leaving the bloc.

Sven Giegold, a member of the European Parliament who also sits on its powerful committee on economic and monetary affairs, said the UK should not expect a "special deal" or bespoke trading relationship with the European Union after Brexit.
