The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has agreed to offer supervisory flexibility to traders of their best execution requirements during the current coronavirus crisis.
In a ‘Dear CEO’ letter to firms serving retail investors on its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, interim chief executive Christopher Woolard, said the U.K. regulator would not take any enforcement action against firms that do not publish the next reports as required on 1 April, as long as they do so no later than June 30.
