Independent Financial Advisers Market Report 2013
M2 - Fri Jul 19, 9:51AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rrhgqp/independent) has announced the addition of the "Independent Financial Advisers Market Report 2013" report to their offering. Change is the watchword for independent financial advisers (IFAs) in 2012. The financial services industry, with the IFA profession as part of it, has been targeted by a barrage of regulatory reform since the financial crisis in 2007. These reforms are intended to reign in the industry to prevent it and, by extension, the country from experiencing a financial crisis like the one seen in recent years. The most important of these reforms for IFAs is the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), which radically transforms the way IFAs operate and the advice they give to their clients. It contains key changes to the way financial advisers can charge for their services and the ways in which they can label themselves and their advice, as well as mandating a higher level of qualification required to give financial advice. The regulatory changes have made it more difficult to stay in the market as an IFA. Many advisers (especially those attached to banks) believe that having to charge upfront fees for advice will deter customers from seeking their services, and will therefore choose to bow out of the market altogether or offer restricted instead of independent advice. Economic conditions have deteriorated considerably since the last edition of this report was published (in April 2008) and future economic conditions remain uncertain. As a result of the economic turbulence, the Bank of England (BoE) has held interest rates at the historic low of 0.5%; this has damaged yields on savings and investment products, although it has made mortgage repayments easier to meet. This is providing, however, that those looking to get a mortgage can get the necessary credit in the first place, which is problematic in the current climate. Both factors should, in theory, boost demand for financial advisers; if mortgages become more affordable then the likelihood is that more customers will take them out, and if savings and investments continue to perform disappointingly, more individuals may be prompted to visit a financial adviser in order to maximise the potential of their investment.
