Inside the FCA’s Consumer Investment Strategy: Opportunities and risks for firms
The FCA’s latest strategy for the retail investment sector has heralded the most significant policy interventions in recent memory. In addition to the introduction of a new targeted support regime, the regulator has also consulted on changes to the way clients are categorised, the disclosure requirements for investment products, suitability obligations, and the requirements governing ongoing services. Further policy work is also planned on how investment risks, costs and charges need to be communicated to clients.
In this webinar, we’ll unpack the implications of these reforms for the sector, as well as highlight the risks and opportunities arising from the FCA’s updated investment strategy for investment platforms, financial advisers, wealth managers and asset managers.
As part of this, we will focus on the following policy interventions:
- client categorisation and conflicts of interest
- consumer composite investment disclosure
- suitability and ongoing services
- targeted support
