LONDON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Britain's markets watchdog
published tougher rules on Monday for funds that invest in hard
to sell assets like property, saying investors must get better
warnings about the risks they face.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said it will introduce
a new category of funds investing in inherently illiquid assets,
or FIIA, from September 2020.
These funds will be subject to additional requirements,
including standard risk warnings in financial promotions,
enhanced depositary oversight, and a requirement to produce
liquidity risk contingency plans, it said.
