Technical Specialist – CTP Supervision

Requirements of the role

The FCA regulates the conduct of 45,000 firms in the UK to ensure our financial markets are honest, fair and competitive. Follow this link to find out more About the FCA.

The Market Intervention – Trading Venues department is at the heart of the FCA strategy to seek to ensure that UK market infrastructures are resilient, transparent and operate in a fair and orderly way. The department sits in the Infrastructure & Exchanges directorate. It is responsible for supervising trading venues and for developing the policy that applies to them and to the investment firms dealing on those venues or OTC. We develop smart and early policy interventions to address emerging risks we see in the market and to influence global and UK policy.

The Trading Policy team is responsible for shaping and implementing the policy for trading venues – such as investment exchanges – and for firms dealing in wholesale markets like broker-dealers, proprietary trading firms and commodity derivatives trading firms.

The Consolidated Tape Provider (CTP) is a new market infrastructure in financial markets that aggregates information on transactions executed on trading venues and by investment firms OTC. It strengthens market integrity in UK markets by supporting price formation and the delivery and monitoring of best execution.
