ISDA has responded to a consultation by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to introduce a new mechanism to officially recognize industry written codes of conduct in unregulated markets and on the extension of FCA Principle 5 for Businesses (a firm must observe proper standards of market conduct) to cover unregulated activities.
