Recognised Investment Exchange (RIE) meaning
Published by a LexisNexis Corporate expert
What does Recognised Investment Exchange (RIE) mean?
A recognised investment exchange is a UK trading venue formally recognised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate a regulated market and related trading facilities. The concept is statutory: see FSMA 2000, Part XVIII (ss.285–313) and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Recognition Requirements for Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses) Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/995), as amended, and the FCA REC sourcebook.
To be recognised, an investment exchange must satisfy recognition requirements on fair and orderly trading, market surveillance, access, default rules, governance, and adequate financial resources. Recognition has practical consequences: it underpins listing and admission to trading, and is referenced across UK MAR, disclosure and transparency regimes, settlement and insolvency protections, and in transactional documentation.
Examples of UK RIEs include London Stock Exchange plc, Cboe Europe Limited and ICE Futures Europe. Distinct but related statuses include recognised overseas investment exchange (ROIE) and recognised clearing house (RCH).
Usage is consistent across England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In Ireland, an equivalent concept exists under MiFID II as a “regulated market” operated by a “market operator” (for example, Euronext Dublin); “recognised investment exchange” is not an Irish statutory term.

UK Recognised Investment Exchanges: FCA REC Requirements, Authorisation, Notification Duties, Supervision, SM&CR Extension Plans, and CIGA 2020 Financial Services Exemptions
A recognised investment exchange (RIE) is a UK recognised body designated under Part XVIII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000), having received a recognition order from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). For the general prohibition in FSMA 2000, s 19, an RIE qualifies as an exempt person, so it requires no permission from the FCA or the PRA (Prudential Regulation Authority) under FSMA 2000, Pt 4A to undertake regulated activities as part of its business as an investment exchange, or for, or in relation to, the provision of clearing services in the UK. You can find examples of RIEs on the Financial Services Register, such as: London Stock Exchange London Metal Exchange Limited ICE Futures Europe FCA Handbook requirements Rules for RIEs sit in the Recognised Investment Exchanges (REC) specialist sourcebook of the FCA Handbook.
