On December 19, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced its plans to simplify the information provided to investors, aiming to enhance confidence and encourage investment. The current regulations, inherited from the EU, have proven to be complex and sometimes unclear, deterring potential investors. The FCA is now proposing a tailored, flexible system designed specifically for the UK market. Key Highlights: - The new framework aims to replace standardized documents with clearer, more accessible information. - Firms will have the flexibility to determine how and when they communicate with customers. - Detailed requirements will ensure consistency and comparability across the market, aiding consumer understanding. - Interim Executive Director Simon Walls emphasized the need for high-quality product information to empower consumers and stimulate economic growth. - Stakeholders are invited to share their feedback by March 20, 2025, as the FCA seeks to design an outcomes-focused regulation that meets the needs of the future.
