FCA launches new webpage on regulatory hosting services

The FCA has published a new webpage containing information for principal firms operating as regulatory hosts. Such firms usually carry out minimal or no regulated activity. Rather, it oversees the use of its permissions by Appointed Representatives (ARs).

The webpage, which will be kept up to date, currently contains guidance for firms on:

• the harms caused by regulatory hosts;
• responsibilities for regulatory hosts; and
• FCA’s action on regulatory hosts.
