The Rise In Scams And The Threat To A Legitimate Financial Services Industry - Speech By Mark Steward, Executive Director Of Enforcement And Market Oversight, Delivered At The City & Financial Global - UK Financial Conduct Authority Investigations & Enforcement Summit

Date 18/05/2021

Highlights

• The FCA has a substantial role to play in preventing harm to consumers from unauthorised activities and it has made improvements to address scams as they are happening.
• While the FCA does have statutory power over the use of false or misleading statements in relation to securities, those offences will not bite where the investment product is outside the financial promotions perimeter. The perimeter, or perimeters (there is more than one), is an intricate boundary that can produce different results in terms of regulatory power, consumer protection and outcome, depending on some equally technical distinctions. Despite these circumstances, the FCA remains very active and engaged in tackling the scourge of investment fraud in this country.
• However, firms should be doing more to prevent harm also and regulated firms who let down their guard, especially in assisting firms on our Warning List, may well face action from us for doing so as well.
• The FCA continues to engage with online platforms to ensure harm is prevented.
