Contracts for Difference - FSA Consultation Process

Peregrine Riviere, the Chairman of the Society has written a letter to our members outlining the current position in the FSA’s consultation process on disclosure for Contracts for Difference. The Society has been actively lobbying for improved disclosure of CFDs and our feeling is that opinion is moving in our favour.

Published: 31 January, 2008

The IR Society responds to the FSA’s consultation on CFD disclosure:

Unenforceable, inadequate and increasingly complex. Investors still able to build 8% stakes without disclosure.

The Investor Relations Society responds to the Takeover Panel

Thank you for the opportunity to share our views on the effectiveness of the above. Our response is focussed on the rules changes in regard to notification of major shareholdings in an offer period. As this is a critical subject for all our members, and where some strong views are held, we are particularly pleased to have the chance to put forward our members’ opinions.

‘IRS submission to the FSA Review of the Listing Rules’ (CP203)

We strongly support the introduction of these overarching principles which will provide a comprehensive and clear framework within which companies are required to operate. We believe that these principles will further enhance the UK’s listing rules and ensure that we maintain our high standards of corporate governance.
