The future of market conduct

We are now in a critical period where the FCA is focussing on how firms have embedded the reforms that were introduced in 2018. For example, the FCA’s CEO, Andrew Bailey, has recently stated that the regulator has been carrying out a multi-firm review into the MiFID II rules on investment research and that formal feedback will be provided in Q2 2019.

We have also seen the FCA issue fines this year so far totalling £135,979.987 which is more than double the fines issued for 2018. This includes the regulator fining an individual for failing to observe proper standards of market conduct and on similar facts issuing its first formal decision under its competition powers against three asset management firms.
