Where FSCA and FCA part ways and where they don’t

Loading player...
In the second podcast from Citywire’s London studios, Money, Markets, and Masterminds tackles one of the hottest issues in advice today: regulation.

Citywire South Africa editor Ruan Jooste is joined by Jack Gilbert, editor of sister title Citywire New Model Adviser, to map how the global counterparts – South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – are reshaping the landscape.

The changes include South Africa’s sweeping Conduct of Financial Institutions bill and the UK’s new consumer duty regime, a new set of rules aimed at improving consumer protection in the UK financial services industry.

Listening to this podcast will give readers insights on tech-driven supervision, finfluencer crackdowns, crypto rules and the data demands coming every adviser’s way.
