Market Abuse Regulation

The Market Abuse Regulation prohibits insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation, with fines and prison sentences attached. This 45-minute course helps staff recognise abusive behaviours, avoid dealing on inside information, prevent unlawful disclosure, and follow the rules on insider lists and managers' transactions.
MAR applies to anyone in possession of inside information, not only those trading. Support functions, projects teams and assistants routinely hold information that would move a price. Training staff across the organisation removes the assumption that the rules belong to the desk, and it gives your firm evidence of the preventative measures MAR expects issuers and firms to have in place.
