Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 17 December 2015, amend the Financial Advisers (Definitions, Voluntary Authorisation, Prescribed Entities, and Exemptions) Regulations 2011 to— • • insert an exemption from the obligations imposed on brokers relating to the handling of client money and client property (see sections 77P to 77T of the Financial Advisers Act 2008).
The exemption only relates to money or prop- erty that is regulated under regulations 238 to 250 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.

The exemption avoids an unnecessary overlap between the requirements of the Financial Advisers Act 2008 and the require- ments of those regulations: prescribe a circumstance in which the custodian requirements in section 44 of the Financial Advisers Act 2008 do not apply.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
