RDR Transition Services
- in 7 months, 10 days
As experienced providers of onsite ‘hands-on’ compliance solutions to intermediaries, Swaines have direct experience of the different IFA business models which operate and the way they are rapidly evolving in the IFA sector. This experience means that we arguably have a wider collective base of practical knowledge of IFA models than any other firm, spanning sole traders, through to small to medium sized businesses up to the very largest groups with more than 1000+ advisers.
This insight enables Swaines to provide both compliance and wider business guidance to IFAs and provide a route map to RDR compliance in time for the 2012 FSA deadline.
The RDR requires firms to start planning now so that they can amend their businesses in time to meet the FSA requirements by the end of 2012. This planning needs to address the following:
- Adviser qualifications
- Use of platforms
- Pricing models
- Advisory models
- Disclosure
- New financial resource requirements
The service involves an experienced senior Consultant or Director from Swaines visiting your firm for a full day and following meetings with senior management and firm specific analysis, producing a comprehensive bespoke report for the board providing guidance on the issues affecting the business and the future decisions that need to be made.
