On 7 November 2023, the Treasury published a response to its own Consultation on the financial promotion exemptions for high-net worth individuals and sophisticated investors, first launched back in December 2021. By way of reminder, these exemptions are derived from the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (“FPO”).

The Virtues of Difficult Fiction
Who Needs Fiction? That was the question I saw on signs around Stockholm during a recent visit. The signs were advertising a local museum, but being a novelist, I took the question as a direct challenge.
