Market Conduct Standards
Market conduct standards are rules and guidelines that ensure financial institutions and market participants act fairly, honestly, and transparently. They prevent deceptive practices, abuse of power, and unfair treatment of customers, promoting trust and integrity in financial markets. These standards cover how firms communicate, handle client funds, and compete, aiming to create a level playing field. Compliance helps protect consumers, maintain market stability, and uphold the reputation of the financial system overall.
