This market abuse course 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 focus on risk in the current environment, including what this is specifically and why it matters (market abuse compliance perspective)
• Case study analysis and what we can learn from cases that have directly impacted our industry.
• Participants gain the necessary insights required to put everything learned into practice both during and long after training.

• At Redcliffe Training, sessions are broader than market abuse regulation & compliance. Examining the full MAR landscape, we delve specifically into what this is, what it means and why it matters.
• Sessions consider and investigate key market abuse techniques whilst reviewing how to remain vigilant.
• Participants engage with regularly updated case studies, each centred on real-world events and their outcomes. Sessions include analysis of what occurred, along with interpretation of the relevant regulatory commentary to deepen understanding and support practical application.
• Training considers the review and assessment of your current practices in delivering market abuse compliance.
• Practical and insightful takeaways are included throughout.

Whilst built on UK legal and regulatory requirements, market abuse training content is customised to suit multiple international audiences. We have engaged with clients operating under German, Swiss and Dutch frameworks. Depending on your preferences, we can remove all UK references and focus on Market Abuse and Effective Countermeasures in another specific regulatory environment. Alternatively, we can take a neutral regulatory approach, as required.

Market abuse regulation 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. Along with a focus on increased accountability under the SMCR (Senior Managers and Certification Regime), senior managers must ensure ongoing vigilance in respect of risk within their firms.

FCA market abuse training explores this area in depth, examining its implications, the obligation for firms to demonstrate staff awareness and compliance and the need to implement appropriate systems and controls. The programme provides comprehensive coverage of all relevant aspects to ensure a thorough understanding of regulatory expectations and best practices.
