Market abuse training is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the risks, implications, and real-world consequences of market abuse in today’s regulatory environment. Sessions combine technical insight with practical application to ensure long-term value for attendees.

Key areas of focus include:
  • A detailed focus on the risks present in today's market environment. We will explore their nature, significance and the reasons they are particularly relevant from a market abuse compliance and regulatory perspective.
  • An in-depth review and analysis of industry-relevant case studies. Sessions examine the circumstances surrounding each case and the valuable insights and lessons they provide.
  • This market abuse course equips you with the insights, tools and practical knowledge required to apply key concepts to real-world situations. Effective compliance is sustained long after training concludes.

Market Abuse training is essential for:
  • Investment staff within authorised firms and funds
  • CCOs and Compliance staff
  • Relevant operations and support staff

MAR was first introduced in July 2016. The FCA continues to fine individuals and high-profile firms in the fund industry for breaches. Combined with the need for ongoing market abuse regulation training and increased accountability under the SMCR (Senior Managers and Certification Regime), senior managers must maintain continuous vigilance regarding risk within their firms.

Training at Redcliffe explores this subject in depth. Participants examine MAR implications, the firm's obligations to demonstrate staff awareness and compliance alongside the need to implement appropriate systems and controls. Training ensures comprehensive coverage of all relevant aspects, ensuring participants leave with a thorough understanding of the regulatory expectations and best practices.
