Competition And Savings: The Regulator’s Perspective - Speech By Christopher Woolard, Director Of Strategy And Competition At The FCA, Delivered At The TISA Annual Conference

Date 25/11/2016

Highlights:

• The last couple of years have brought dramatic changes to the long term savings landscape. As a regulator, we are very aware of the amount of change this has resulted in for firms and appreciate the great efforts that have been made to accommodate and implement these initiatives.
• It is crucial that the asset management industry works well. We have found weak price competition which means investors are paying more than they should for services, which is in turn having a material impact on their investment returns.
• It is our job as the regulator to ensure that this market is efficient and effective, given the very clear social responsibility asset managers hold.
• We ask that the industry, consumers, government and other regulators to engage us in the asset management consultation, and all our consultations in this space, to improve markets for millions of everyday consumers. Together we can all play our part.
