FCA Market Study – Pure Protection Market
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to launch a Market Study into the distribution of pure protection products to retail consumers.
The FCA is seeking to understand whether the market is functioning well and whether consumers are receiving good outcomes. In particular, they will focus on the design of some commission arrangements, whether some pure protection products provide fair value to consumers, and the strength of competition given the recent exit of several providers.
The FCA have published proposed Terms of Reference and you can find further details here.

PIMFA TRANSACTION REPORTING ACADEMY
Accurate and complete MiFIR transaction reporting is a legal obligation. Yet many financial firms, even those with significant resources dedicated to this complex requirement, are falling short of regulatory expectations. Quality assurance testing by regulatory specialists Kaizen Reporting has found that only 13% of MiFID II transactions are reported accurately.
The consequences of incorrect reporting are serious, and include regulatory scrutiny and sanctions, as well as the significant cost and resource involved in remediating incorrect reports.
The PIMFA Transaction Reporting Academy is an innovative, practical and results-focused learning experience that augments your core reporting skills while deepening your knowledge in key areas of the MiFIR transaction reporting requirements.
