Market Abuse Regime (MAR) iLecture by Vivienne Bannigan
An interactive 90-minute on-demand market abuse workshop.
Background
The purpose of the market abuse regime is to maintain confidence in markets and the financial system. Preventing and reducing financial crime is a crucial objective of financial regulators across the world.
Maintaining market integrity is vital for the operation of fair, clear and not misleading markets. Regulators impose stringent requirements and enforce against firms and individuals, clearly demonstrating their determination to prevent abusive practices.
Market abuse is defined as behaviour (action or inaction) anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly affecting investments traded on financial markets. Market abuse is a statutory offence that covers stock market manipulation and insider dealing. It is a severe offence that damages investor confidence and the integrity of financial markets.
Regulators and Markets across the globe have established requirements to ensure that markets operate in a safe, clean and orderly manner. Market Abuse is a complex topic and firms are required to implement policies, procedures and processes to ensure that these requirements act as an effective deterrent against financial crime.
Firms and individuals participating in the financial markets are required to observe specific standards of conduct. Parts of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) Handbook, for example, the Market Conduct Sourcebook (which is known as ‘MAR’), set out these standards. MAR includes the Code of Conduct (MAR 1) and the Price Stabilising Rules (MAR 2)
The Sourcebook includes aspects of insider dealing as well as expanding on behaviours that constitute market abuse but specifies the civil actions available to the FCA in respect of firms. Moreover, actions which might be taken against senior managers of firms as well as other individuals. These penalties range from the issuance of financial penalties through to issuing a public censure. Public censure assists in promoting high standards of regulatory or market conduct both by deterring firms or individuals from committing further breaches and also serving as a warning to others. This helps the FCA in meeting their statutory objectives.
