Conflicts of Interest

Overview

Money Fund Market’s Conflicts of Interest Policy is designed to identify, manage, mitigate, and report conflicts of interest to protect client interests and uphold regulatory standards. This policy applies to all staff, contractors, and representatives of Money Fund Market and ensures adherence to FCA regulations.

Principles and Standards

Money Fund Market is committed to conducting business with integrity and treating clients fairly, in line with FCA Principles. Conflicts of interest arise when competing interests could influence decisions or outcomes, potentially impacting client interests. To address this, we have established standards to:

  • Prioritise client interests over those of the firm or third parties.
  • Treat all clients fairly if conflicts arise between them.
  • Disclose conflicts when internal measures are insufficient to mitigate them.
  • Maintain transparency through disclosures as required.

Identifying and Managing Conflicts

Conflicts of interest may occur between Money Fund Market, its staff, and clients. Staff must report any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts to management. Conflicts are documented in a dedicated register, and management takes necessary steps to mitigate these conflicts, which may include:

  • Implementing information barriers.
  • Disclosing conflicts to clients before proceeding.
  • Adjusting client relationships or declining to act when conflicts cannot be managed effectively.
  • Regular audits and monitoring to ensure compliance with the policy.

Client Disclosure

If internal measures cannot fully prevent the risk of harm to client interests, Money Fund Market will disclose the conflict in writing to allow clients to make informed decisions regarding the service provided. In cases where conflicts cannot be managed adequately, we may decline to act for a client.

Controls, Training, and Record Keeping

The conflicts of interest register is reviewed quarterly to ensure effective management. Staff receive annual training to reinforce the importance of reporting and managing conflicts. Records related to conflicts are retained for at least five years.
