UK Consumer Duty - What does it mean for third country firms

The FCA published its final rules on the Consumer Duty in a Policy Statement on 27 July 2022 (PS22/9) and firms now have until 31 July 2023 to fully implement such rules for new and existing products or services and until 31 July 2024 for closed products or services.
Firms must establish implementation plans by October 2022.  This briefing discusses the territorial scope of the Consumer Duty and the implications for third-country firms conducting business with retail investors in the UK.  A separate briefing: (i) summarising the basic requirements of the regime is available here.
