Approval of Financial Promotions
​
A financial promotion is the communication of an invitation or inducement to engage in any investment activity.
​
Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) provides that a person must not communicate an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity unless the promotion has been made or approved by an authorised person, or it is exempt. This is known as the financial promotion restriction.
​
Leveraging our extensive experience in conducting numerous financial promotions reviews, we are uniquely positioned to provide firms with assurance that they are in compliance with FCA requirements and we can approve financial promotions.
​
As an integral part of our service, we conduct comprehensive reviews of pertinent promotional materials, ensuring alignment with FCA standards and, where applicable other relevant guidelines. This will enable you to make a financial promotion with confidence.
​
If you intend to make a financial promotion and wish to discuss how it may be affected by FSMA, and whether it requires approval, we would be pleased to discuss your requirements.
