Retail Financial Services

The retail financial services sector is currently experiencing its biggest shake-up since the Financial Services Act 1986 came into effect in 1988. This shake up is being driven by both regulatory and economic forces and the resulting competition is also beginning to have an effect too. Almost every component of the supply chain (advice, platforms, investment management) is up for grabs over the period leading up to the implementation of the FSA’s Retail Distribution Review (RDR) legislation.

These changes have significant implications for every firm that operates in this sector, be it IFAs, DFMs, Private Banks, Platforms and of course traditional Product Providers. The focus of the majority of Kingmakers work is the design, creation and distribution of ‘advice’ and ‘investment management’ products/services and the opportunities the RDR presents for some firms in this space, to re-configer the supply/value chain in their favour.
