What is the Retail Distribution Review?
In March 2010 the FSA issued their policy statement, 10/6, on the “Distribution of Retail Investments: Delivering the RDR – Feedback to CP09/18 and final rules”. This document superseded the “Feedback Statement 08/6” on the Retail Distribution Review (RDR); issued in November 2008 and the subsequent consultation paper issued in June 2009.
The policy statement 10/6, from the FSA, defines the shape of their final proposals and states their intentions regarding the implementation of the Retail Distribution Review. Although the policy statement gives some certainty regarding the future shape of the retail distribution landscape, what is still unclear is how organisations will utilise the opportunities presented to them by the RDR.
