1.3	R	SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply with respect to the carrying on of:
		(1)	regulated activities ;
		(2)	activities that constitute dealing in investments as principal , disregarding the exclusion in article 15 of the Regulated Activities Order (Absence of holding out etc);
		(3)	ancillary activities in relation to designated investment business , home finance activity and insurance distribution activity ; and
		(4)	activities directly arising from insurance risk transformation ;
		except that SYSC 3.3 applies as described in SYSC 1 Annex 1 1.3AR and SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G do not apply as described in SYSC 1 Annex 1 .1.4R.
1.3A	R	SYSC 3.3 only applies in relation to the carrying on of insurance distribution activities .
1.4	R	SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G do not apply:

			(e)	(i)	arranging, by the Society , of deals in general insurance contracts written at Lloyd's; and
				(ii)	managing the underwriting capacity of a Lloyd's syndicate as a managing agent at Lloyd's ;

1.5	R	SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 , except SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G , also apply with respect to the communication and approval of financial promotions which:
		(1)	if communicated by an unauthorised person without approval would contravene section 21(1) of the Act (Restrictions on financial promotion); and
		(2)	may be communicated by a firm without contravening section 238(1) of the Act (Restrictions on promotion of collective investment schemes).
1.6	R	SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 , except SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G , also:

		(2)	take into account any activity of other members of a group of which the firm is a member.
1.7	G	SYSC 1 Annex 1 .1.6R(2) does not mean that inadequacy of a group member's systems and controls will automatically lead to a firm contravening, for example, SYSC 3.1.1 R . Rather, the potential impact of a group member's activities, including its systems and controls, and any systems and controls that operate on a group basis, will be relevant in determining the appropriateness of the firm's own systems and controls.
	Where?
1.8	R	SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply with respect to activities carried on from an establishment maintained by the firm (or its appointed representative or, where applicable, its tied agent ) in the United Kingdom unless another applicable rule which is relevant to the activity has a wider territorial scope, in which case SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply with that wider scope in relation to the activity described in that rule .
1.8A	R	(1) SYSC 3 , except SYSC 3.2.6AR to SYSC 3.2.6JG , and (2) for a UK domestic firm , SYSC 2 ; also apply in a prudential context with respect to activities wherever they are carried on.

1.11	G	(1)	In considering whether to take regulatory action under SYSC 2 or SYSC 3 in relation to activities carried on outside the United Kingdom , the appropriate regulator will take into account the standards expected in the market in which the firm is operating.
		(2)	Most of the rules in SYSC 3 are linked to other requirements and standards under the regulatory system which have their own territorial limitations so that those SYSC rules are similarly limited in scope.
	Actions for damages
1.12	R	A contravention of the rules in SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 does not give rise to a right of action by a private person under section 138D of the Act (and each of those rules is specified under section 138D(3) of the Act as a provision giving rise to no such right of action).
