A Practitioner's Guide to the FSA Regulation of Designated Investment Business

The FSA has already made clear its intention to scrutinise investment business - or regulated activity. Recent pronouncements on polarisation and the pensions industry have confirmed that this is one of the FSA's top priorities. Firms carrying out regulated activity need to be made fully aware of the FSA regulation and this book deals with the specific issues that will be relevant to regulated firms on a daily basis. This book analyses the investments that are regulated, considers the impact of the Conduct of Business Rules and looks at the Client Asset regime and related rules as well as the special cases of trustee firms, occupational pension schemes and collective investment schemes.
