The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued an interim report on the ways in which asset managers’ products and services could work better for retail and institutional investors. The provisional proposals include, introducing an all-in fee approach to quoting charges, holding asset managers accountable for how they deliver value for money, clearer communications of fund charges, and increasing transparency and standardisation of costs and charges information for intuitional investors. These proposals will affect managers of retail funds, hedge funds and potentially private equity funds.  The deadline to submit a response is 20 February 2017. If you have any questions in relation to this or would like to contribute to a response, please contact Jennifer Wood.
