Abstract

In the wake of the Retail Distribution Review, there remain fundamental questions about how best to support consumers to make sound investment decisions, particularly those with modest amounts of money to invest, for whom a poor investment decision may have a disproportionate adverse impact. The advent of new pension freedoms from April 2015, which give people more choice and flexibility about how they use their retirement savings, adds further impetus to the issue. To help inform policy and practice on this important subject, in June 2015 we brought together consumer and industry experts to explore possible new approaches to improve risk profiling and investment decision-making.
