Approximately 18 months ago, there was a slight cheer amongst the advice community as the FCA announced that their ‘Assessing Suitability Review 2’ was being scrapped, citing the global pandemic as the cause of the shift in the Regulators priorities.

This reflection goes hand in hand with the work prompted by the upcoming Consumer Duty.
Our brand new guide looks to explore some of the considerations for firms when looking at their retirement income advice process.
