CMCs: FCA publishes portfolio letter on supervisory priorities

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published a portfolio letter to the claims management sector, setting out its updated view of harms and risks that claims management companies (CMCs) pose, and priority areas for FCA supervision of CMCs.
