Wealth management trade body PIMFA has welcomed plans announced by the FCA this week to establish a new regime for Consumer Composite Investments (CCIs) which could affect up to 12.6m UK investors.

Wealth management trade association PIMFA has invited entries for its fifth Diversity & Inclusion Awards.

Wealth management trade body PIMFA has urged the FCA to reconsider the role of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and to explore consolidating the regulatory regime for claims management companies (CMCs).

Financial Planners and advisers have very high confidence in the service they provide their clients but are much less impressed by some issues that are not in their immediate control.
