FCA keynote session on their 2-year strategy for the Advisers and Intermediaries sector. 2. FCA live demonstration of the Retirement Income Advice Assessment Tool (RIATT). 3. Opportunity to interact directly with the FCA through feedback sessions and an all-day clinic. Good practice in action – see how firms are making aspects such as technology and intergenerational wealth transfer work for them. Proven ideas to get remuneration strategy right in a client-centric financial planning business. Free resources available now to help firms meet their Consumer Duty obligations and business opportunities. Please share this invitation with colleagues and your network - Consumer Duty and the Evolution of Financial Planning. #FinancialPlanning #ConsumerDuty The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) Personal Finance Society LIBF Society of Later Life Advisers   𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞. https://lnkd.in/eUejhB2q

Bookings for our first in person event - "Consumer Duty and the Evolution of Financial Planning" are coming in at a rate of knots! This is very much aimed at smaller firms and their advisers with up to approaximately 20 people in their teams. Our CEO, Keith Richards, makes the point that, “...smaller advice firms are an important part of the personal finance sector, offering consumers diversity, choice and often play a key role within local communities..." ... and we are delighted that Financial Conduct Authority will be delivering a keynote speech, separate breakout sessions and a demonstration of the Retirement Income Advice Assessment Tool." This is an ideal opportunity for small firms and indiividual advisers to have direct engagement with the FCA on #ConsumerDuty. We have made it free to attend and it is simple and straightforward to reserve a seat: https://lnkd.in/eUejhB2q #FinancialPlanning #FinancialAdvice Personal Finance Society LIBF The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) Society of Later Life Advisers

THE FIRST CONSUMER DUTY ALLIANCE NATIONAL CONFERENCE!   We are delighted to announce our first in-person event on Friday 11 October 2024 at the prestigious National Motorcycle Museum, near Birmingham.    Consumer Duty and the Evolution of Financial Planning will focus on the evolving and growing importance of professional advice in an ever-changing landscape and what it means for smaller advice firms.   It’s a free to attend event for firms of up to around 20 people, whether directly authorised or appointed representatives, who often find it hard to interact with the FCA and share Consumer Duty experiences, challenges and successes. The day will be hosted and introduced by Ruth Sturkey and our CEO Keith Richards. We are thrilled that Nick Hulme of the Financial Conduct Authority will be the headline keynote speaker, with important insights, followed by Brett Davidson. #FinancialPlanning #FinancialAdvice #ConsumerDuty The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) LIBF Society of Later Life Advisers Personal Finance Society https://lnkd.in/ed3HkCq2
