Retail Distribution Review

You may be aware that at the end of 2012 the financial industry is being forced to raise its level of professionalism. The regulator (FSA) has 3 main objectives:

• to remove commission bias
• provide clarity on independence
• to raise the level of professionalism

We are already RDR compliant as we have only ever charged fees, have always been independent and are at Chartered level. However, there will be a number of IFAs that won't be ready and will not be able to practice. Therefore if you know anyone that might need a performance based trusted adviser please feel free to forward on our details.
