  • Market Integrity And Strategic Approach, Speech By Mark Steward, Executive Director Of Enforcement And Market Oversight At The FCA, Delivered At The 19th Annual Institute On Securities Regulation In Europe Event In London

    Date 07/02/2020

    Highlights

    • We work with a very high degree of precision and collaboration with both US regulators and EU authorities on issues that affect our markets. We need to avoid fragmentation in our markets which will provide wrongdoers with arbitrage opportunities for misconduct.
    • The market cleaniness metric was first published in 2008 when it found that approximately 30% of takeovers showed abnormal price movements 2 days prior to an announcement. Our latest figure published in 2019 is currently at its lowest score at around 10% and we have developed a new measure which has produced a lower figure of 6.4%.
    • We have taken a strategic and integrated approach to our market integrity efforts encompassing enforcement, primary and secondary oversight and surveillance, and wholesale supervision which could explain improvements recorded by the market cleaniness metric and abnormal trading volume ratio.
    • Would-be abusers should be aware of our increased detective power which materially ratchets up the risk of abusers being found out.
