Disclosing a licensed body’s legal status and its licensing by the Authority is crucial because it enables clients and others who may suffer from perceived or actual misbehaviour to raise their concerns with the regulator. This transparency mechanism empowers investors and market participants to seek redress and promotes regulatory oversight. While the disclosure also signifies the firm’s subjection to regulatory supervision, the primary benefit is facilitating complaint handling and protection. It does not imply that no misbehaviour occurs, nor does it authorize the unauthorised use of the Authority’s branding by third parties.
