Odey, FCA, Non-financial misconduct

(mis)Conduct, Money & Reputation

Back in early June, it looked like we were set for a balmy summer, but then the storm broke. A Financial Times and Tortoise Media investigative feature in the FT Weekend magazine detailing a series of allegations of sexual misconduct by the eponymous hedge fund founder at Odey Asset Management set off a chain of events that will have far-reaching consequences for financial services businesses.

This is a story which is defining the sector’s image in the public eye. But what are the underlying lessons from this, and where do we go from here?

In this episode, we explore the increasingly widespread issue of non-financial misconduct in financial services, drawing on cases such as that alleged against Odey Asset Management. From the FCA’s Fitness and Propriety Handbook to The Crystal Methodist and Jonathan Burrows, our hosts navigate the complex path where regulation and reputation intersect.
