The FCA has made the necessary Handbook Instrument to implement rule changes to accommodate the Targeted Support regime.
The changes introduce new Glossary definitions and amend several parts of the Handbook, but mainly COBS. Most of the changes take effect from 6 April 2026.
It has also opened its authorisations gateway for firms to apply for permission to provide targeted support. It says it has already engaged with several firms through its PASS facility.
