The FCA has set out a package of measures to reinforce the UK’s leading position in the bond, derivatives and asset management sectors, supporting growth.
New transparency rules for bonds and derivatives markets will give investors more information and reduce costs for firms. And under new proposals, asset managers for pooled investment funds will be given greater flexibility in how they pay for investment research, making it easier to buy insight and analysis across borders.
This is part of the FCA’s ongoing work strengthening wholesale markets, while ensuring investors have access to the right information to make decisions.
