Britain’s watchdog sets out retail investment reforms in post-Brexit shift

Britain’s financial regulator on Monday unveiled a package of reforms aimed at encouraging retail investors to buy ⁠more shares and bonds, setting out one ⁠of its clearest statements yet on the UK’s ‍post-Brexit ‌direction for investment regulation.

The Financial ⁠Conduct Authority (FCA) ‌published three papers ‌outlining changes to investment disclosure requirements, updating the categorisation of professional investors and ‍a broader rethink of risk in the investment ‌landscape.
​
The ⁠measures ​are designed to ⁠make ​investing in stocks and shares more attractive and ​accessible to individuals, while reinforcing protections where ⁠needed, the ⁠regulator said.
