Financial Promotions webinar
In an effort to clamp down on misleading communications, the FCA announced new rules on the marketing of high-risk investments, including a requirement for more thorough suitability assessments and use of clearer and more prominent risk warnings, as well as a ban on inducements to invest.
Rules related to risk warnings for financial promotions of high-risk investments will have effect from 1 December 2022. All other rules will have effect from 1 February 2023. The new rules do not apply to cryptoasset promotions, which will be tackled once the FCA’s remit extension is confirmed in legislation.
