Protecting Investors and Users

Margaret Reid

Chapter 11 in All-Change in the City, 1988, pp 243-260 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most modern markets have some form of watchdog system to ensure that investors and users are fairly dealt with and protected from fraud. Such safeguarding arrangements, which embrace banking as well as stock and other markets, also aim to check the financial health and capability, as well as the probity, of the operating firms. For, after all, it is little more comfort to feel one’s money has evaporated through the misjudgments of the most honest incompetent than because of deliberate ‘white collar’ theft.
