Fund Managers Adjust to New Market Abuse Detection Rules
Imagine that companies that manage money have to make sure their employees aren't doing anything sneaky that could hurt the market.
The new rules say these companies need to watch out for bad behavior.
They'll have to check emails, chats, and even security camera footage to spot anything suspicious.
This is to stop people from cheating in the market and making things unfair.
But they still have to record phone calls.
New rules shift market abuse detection to asset management companies.
AMCs must implement alert-based surveillance for suspicious activity.
Surveillance includes scanning emails, chats, and access logs.
Closed-circuit television footage will also be scanned.
Phone call recording remains mandatory.
