FINANCIAL SERVICES AND MARKETS

This Order amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (the “Principal Order”) so as to specify new regulated activities. The Principal Order specifies kinds of activities and investments for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c.8) (“the Act”). When an activity of a specified kind is carried on by way of business in relation to an investment of a specified kind, it is a “regulated activity” for the purposes of the Act. Section 19 of the Act prohibits persons who are not authorised or exempt from carrying on any regulated activity in the United Kingdom. Contravention of that prohibition is a criminal offence. A person who has permission under Part IV of the Act to carry on one or more regulated activities is authorised.
