We have launched 'Guided Applications' which enable online applications for a new portfolio and multiple
wrappers to be completed online.
We now accept e- signatures, accepting them on most applications via digital signature provider DocuSign.
We have moved all sales conferences and adviser appointments online.

Regulation
-
COVID-19
We expect that throughout 2021 the FCA will continue to devote considerable effort to supervising authorised firms in relation to the impact of COVID-19. - Operational resilience
A joint Bank of England, PRA and FCA policy statement is expected in 2021 addressing requirements for strengthening operational resilience across financial services.
-
Platform market study
New rules to simplify transfers between platforms are being introduced in February 2021. The FCA has announced a halt to its consultation work on restricting platform exit fees, due to platforms moving away from such fee charging, but that it will continue to monitor the situation. We have never charged exit fees. - Duty of care
The FCA has indicated that it will begin a consultation in 2021 on investment firms duty of care to consumers. - Vulnerable customers
In late 2020, early 2021 the FCA is expected to finalise and bring into immediate effect guidance on the fair treatment of vulnerable customers. - Prudential regulation
The FCA is to begin a consultation on a new UK prudential regulation for investment firms with a view to new rules being implemented from sometime around mid 2021.
