This module analyses the legal rights of parties to financial and investment contracts and the UK regulatory system governing the entirety of investment regulation (that is, everything that is neither banking nor insurance) by the Financial Conduct Authority. This module will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to understand the practice of finance law in City law firms. It draws on the root principles in the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and other regulation, as implemented in the UK (which remains Europe’s largest investment market). In this module, you will cover the conduct of business regulation, financial promotion, and the effect of the global financial crisis. You will analyse problems in the creation of contracts, and liability for wrongs and for breaches of fiduciary duty. You will also analyse mainstream investment, collective investment schemes, and social investment.
