The Financial Conduct Authority has invited expressions of interest from market participants to join its Secondary Markets Advisory Committee, as it renews membership in line with the committee’s terms of reference. The committee supports the FCA’s work on wholesale secondary markets across equities, derivatives, fixed income and commodity derivatives. The committee is intended to help shape reforms to improve market competition, increase consumer protection and enhance market integrity, while also identifying market changes that could affect the proper functioning of secondary markets and providing data and analysis to support policy reforms. Chaired by the FCA, it is composed of 25 senior individuals from firms active in financial markets and members are appointed in a personal capacity; the FCA is seeking balanced representation across firm types and appropriate diversity. Appointments run for two years, can be renewed, and meetings are normally quarterly, with scope to convene more often if needed. Applications require a CV and cover letter and must be submitted by 18 May 2026. The FCA will announce the appointed members once the committee is in place.
