Advisory committee seeks market experts for secondary markets

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is inviting market participants to express interest in joining its advisory committee for wholesale secondary markets.

This committee, established in 2022, is renewing its membership to align with its terms of reference.

Its core purpose is to support the FCA's work across equities, derivatives, fixed income, and commodity derivatives.

The committee's tasks include developing reforms to improve market competition, increase consumer protection, and enhance market integrity.

Members will also identify market changes affecting secondary markets and provide data and analysis for policy reforms.

Chaired by the FCA, the committee consists of 25 senior experts from financial market firms.

Appointments are personal, with the FCA aiming for balanced representation and diversity across wholesale market participants.

Appointments to the advisory committee are for a two-year term, with the possibility of renewal, ensuring sustained expert input.

The committee typically meets quarterly, but can convene more frequently if required by market dynamics or specific tasks.

This flexible schedule allows for responsive engagement with secondary market issues.

Interested market participants must submit a CV and cover letter via email by May 18, 2026.

Applicants should review the terms of reference before applying.

The FCA will announce appointed members once the selection process is complete.
