About this lesson
Market abuse is a broader offence covering reckless, misleading or false behaviour affecting qualifying investments on listed markets, including misuse of information, transaction manipulation, market distortion, and improper disclosure. Understanding when to apply market abuse rather than insider dealing is essential for exam success, particularly when insider information isn't present but market-moving conduct has occurred. Those found guilty face unlimited fines and warnings from the Financial Conduct Authority.
