Q2 2011 to Q3 2011 (against
FTSE fall of 14.4%)

No payments from product providers to advisers

Thematic Review (DP 10/2)
RMAR
Platform due diligence
How can I compare
charges?
Can I use just one
platform and still be
independent?
How often
should we do
due diligence?
What’s bothering IFAs today?
• The RDR – first country to try and move advisers to fees
in a bull market
• Increased qualifications
• Increased regulation
• Use of risk profilers and portfolio modelling tools
• Platform selection and due diligence
• Client segmentation
• Lack of clarity
• VAT
• .....very busy and pushed for time
