Dear [FIRSTNAME],
On a very chilly day may we wish you a very warm welcome to your weekly Newsletter and a Happy and Prosperous 2010.
The New Year starts with relatively good news with the first article on page 1 illustrating that the FSA is now examining the practicalities of delivering the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) and the challenges that individual Advisers will be meeting while achieving their Level 4 qualifications. Extending the RDR to Pure Protection Products may be a move too far too soon or at least until any beneficial effects of the RDR have been evidenced and analysed. The RDR Factsheet on page 2 is at least very short and a ‘must read’ for IFAs and other firms that market Pure Protection contracts.
General Insurance Intermediaries who write Personal Lines business need to read the ABI article (page 7) as it is bound to influence any business that you attract or write online.
If we can be of further service with these or any other regulatory matters please remember your helpline 08456 12 12 11 for a without obligation conversation or email admin@ifact.co.uk.
Warm regards and a Happy New Year.
Kind regards
John Derry-Collins FInst SM AMITD Fcol MInstD MIoD Director IFAct Services Ltd Tel. No. 08456 121 211
