5 terms

eu mar regulatory

"dealing with buy-back programmes (“EU MAR”) and EU MAR as “onshored” into UK law"

EU MAR is the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation, a set of rules designed to keep financial markets fair by stopping insider trading and market manipulation and by requiring timely, accurate public disclosure of inside information. Think of it as traffic laws for trading: it sets who can share sensitive information, how it must be disclosed, and penalties for breaking the rules, which matters to investors because stronger rules reduce surprises, boost trust, and affect companies’ legal and reporting costs.

uk mar regulatory

"from time to time (“UK MAR”) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052"

UK MAR is the UK Market Abuse Regulation, a set of laws designed to prevent insider trading, market manipulation and other dishonest practices in financial markets while setting rules for how companies must disclose important information. It matters to investors because it helps ensure a fair playing field and timely, reliable disclosures so price changes reflect real news rather than secret deals—think of it as the rulebook that keeps the market honest and predictable.

european union (withdrawal agreement) act 2020 regulatory

"Act 2018 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020), and as amended"

A UK law that put into force a negotiated exit agreement with the European Union and translated many existing EU rules into domestic law to avoid sudden legal gaps. Think of it as a formal handover and a translation of the prior rulebook so businesses, contracts and regulators had time and legal certainty to adjust. Investors care because it changes which laws apply, affects market access, trade rules and compliance costs for companies.

financial services act, 2021 regulatory

"replaced by the Financial Services Act, 2021 and relevant statutory instruments"

A UK law that updates the rulebook for how financial firms operate, giving regulators clearer powers to oversee markets, protect consumers, and respond to risks. For investors, it matters because it can change how products are sold, how firms are supervised, and how quickly problems are fixed—much like a revised rulebook that aims to make a game fairer and safer for everyone, which affects confidence and the value of investments.

the market abuse (amendment) (eu exit) regulations (si 2019/310) regulatory

"including, The Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations (SI 2019/310)), from time to time"

A UK government regulation that updates and preserves rules against insider trading, market manipulation and unlawful disclosure after the country left the EU, keeping market conduct standards consistent and enforceable under domestic law. It matters to investors because it sets the “traffic laws” of the market—clarifying what information must be shared, who may trade, and the penalties for cheating—so prices remain fair and legal risk is clearer.
