  • Market Abuse Requires A Dynamic Response To A Changing Risk Profile - Speech Delivered By Julia Hoggett, Director Of Market Oversight At The FCA, At The AFME Implementation Of The Market Abuse Regulation In The UK Event, London

    Date 13/02/2019

    Highlights

    • Compliance with MAR requires a whole series of situational judgements to be made.
    • A regulatory system that relies on controls that work by detecting when an event has happened, will never be as effective as a system that also helps ensure that misconduct does not happen in the first place. Whilst it is important that both regulators and participants have controls to detect suspicious behaviour, it is critical that we consider how we protect the market from such behaviour occurring on our watch in the first place.
    • Firms need effective risk assessments and must consider for themselves the manner in which their systems and controls evolve as the risks within their businesses evolve.
    • Control of information leaving a firm is as important as control of information moving within a firm.
    • Firms need to take responsibility to ensure staff understand the consequences of unlawful behaviour and must be vigilant to ensure it is not happening within their walls. Greater awareness of the risks of market abuse is needed.
    • Access controls, surveillance capabilities and general mindset in investment banking and advisory platforms is not yet as evolved as it should be.
    • There is still more for the industry to do to improve its capacity to surveil for market manipulation.
