Barclays bank fined by watchdog for failings that led to inappropriate trade in gold market
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – Barclays Bank has been fined by British regulators for management failings that allowed an employee to make inappropriate trades in the gold market.
The Financial Conduct Authority imposed a 26 million pound ($43.7 million) fine on Friday.
The regulator cited actions taken on June 28, 2012 when an individual trader “exploited the weaknesses in Barclays’ system” to influence the gold fixing prices and profit at a customer’s expense.
Barclays Chief Executive Antony Jenkins said the bank regrets the situation that led to the fine. He said Barclays had strengthened its systems and controls to prevent a recurrence.
The trader involved has also been fine and banned from the industry.

Shannon Dalziel made a strong case for life-cycle mutual funds, a default option for many workplace defined-contribution pension plans but I question the high-fees associated with some of these products.
John Heinzl from the Globe and Mail recommends reinvesting your dividends to supercharge your wealth. In the article John uses an example of a $10,000 investment in Royal Bank in 1993. That investment is now worth almost $200,000 today.
My friend over at Passive Income Earner posted some solid dividend income this month…
