Abstract

This article considers the impact of the financial crisis reform agenda on EU investor protection regulation. It argues that retail market regulation is becoming associated with a consumer protection agenda and that a more interventionist approach to the retail markets is following. The influences which are shaping this ‘consumerisation’ of EU investor protection regulation, and the benefits and risks of the new approach, which are particularly apparent in the product intervention sphere, are considered.
