What is consumer duty?
The ‘Consumer Duty’ is a new standard set by the FCA. It builds upon existing regulations to set higher expectations for the standard of care that firms provide to retail financial customers.
This standard aims to enable consumers to make good financial decisions and have greater trust in firms, by ensuring that they focus on:
- Always putting good outcomes at the centre of their businesses
- The diverse needs of their customers at every stay of the customer journey.
What are we doing?
Ahead of the FCA’s final Consumer Duty implementation deadline of 31 July 2023, we have been working behind the scenes to ensure we are able to achieve and evidence outcomes across price and value, products and services, consumer understanding and consumer support.
We have created a target market summary document document which will help clients and their advisers determine whether we can help a client achieve their financial objectives, and if we can which of our services is most likely to do so.
