SUP 10C Annex 1 What functions apply to what type of firm

Part One: Introduction

SUP 10C Annex 1 1.1R10/12/2018

1This annex sets out which FCA controlled function applies to which type of SMCR firm.

SUP 10C Annex 1 1.2G10/12/2018

1If an FCA controlled function is not included in a table for a particular class of firm, that FCA controlled function does not apply to any firm in that class.

SUP 10C Annex 1 1.3G26/07/2019

(1)
1If one of the tables in this annex shows that an FCA controlled function applies to a type of firm, that function does not necessarily apply to every firm in that class.
(2)
That may be because of limitations in the description of the function itself. For example, the partner function only applies to partnerships.
(3)
Another reason would be if the rules defining the FCA controlled function refer to a rule elsewhere in the FCA Handbook and the latter only applies to certain types of firm. For example, SYSC 1 Annex 1 (Detailed application of SYSC) cuts back the application of some of the FCA required functions.2
(4)
The exclusions in SUP 10C.1 are also relevant.
