November 2020
  • Fined £3.44m on 23 November 2020
    On 23 November 2020, the FCA imposed a financial penalty on TFS-ICAP Limited of £3,444,100. The reason for this action is because TFS-ICAP Limited breached Principle 2 (due skill, care and diligence), Principle 3 (management and control) and Principle 5 (market conduct) between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2015. The FCA’s action took effect on 23 November 2020 and a copy of the Final Notice is displayed on the FCA's web site.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
