Financial Promotions Case Studies
The FCA has produced two short videos of the various products it regulates, and the common mistakes firms make while promoting their products. The videos illustrate the FCA’s expectation and highlight the need for promotions to be clear, fair and not misleading regardless of the media used. These videos, as well as other information about financial promotions, can be found here.
