Meeting the requirements of the FSAs
Retail Distribution Review
 From 2012 all Advisers operating as Professional Financial
Planners will be required to agree the price of advice separate
to any commissions generated through the sale of a product
 Firms wishing to grow recurring revenues will need to
demonstrate the value that clients continue to receive for
ongoing advisor charges
 Advisers will need to ensure absolute transparency of charges


Single platforms vs. independence

 FSA accepts that for client groups where needs are
similar and suited to benefits of a wrap platform, the
use of a single suitably comprehensive wrap solution
will not jeopardise advisers’ independent status.


FSA CP 10/29 – Use of single platform
 One platform for all clients for all investments






Requires clearly defined client bank
Similar range of needs and objectives
Selected platform can address all needs

Some clients will have needs not addressed by wrap
These “outlier” clients would need to be “screened out”

 One platform for all clients for most investments
 A more likely, realistic and pragmatic scenario
 Means “default” wrap used
 Allows room for off-platform/niche solutions

 One platform for some clients
 Single wrap for defined group with same needs
 Means off-platform or other platform used for clients outside this client
group e.g. one wrap per market

Wraps – a practical definition
The FSA defines wrap platforms as follows:
‘Platforms are online services, used by intermediaries
(and sometimes consumers directly)
to view and manage their investment portfolios.’
FSA Discussion Paper on platforms, June 2007

Wraps = a venue for investment


Due diligence
 3 elements influence relevance & value of wraps:
1. Type of client you wish to advise
2. The relationship you wish to offer your clients
3. The investment proposition relevant to your market

 Some “niche” areas not served by wraps – yet!
 So what should I consider when choosing a wrap…



Due diligence
1. Strategically


Identifying a wrap that meets:
• The operating requirements of your desired business model
• The investment proposition needs of your target clients
• Criteria you use to assess fitness of a key business supplier

2. Tactically (i.e. client by client)



Confirming whether utilisation of the wrap platform you have selected is
suitable for a specific client
Deciding whether to “screen out” clients for whom a wrap-based
proposition is not suitable


Due diligence
 FSA – Fact-sheet:
 Platforms: using fund supermarkets and wraps
(considerations when examining wrap platforms & their providers)

 Your Business








Agree that wraps offers business and client benefits
Understand the client types or life-stages you wish to serve
Articulate the client value proposition and processes you will deliver
Have a robust investment proposition you wish to deliver
Create criteria a wrap has to satisfy for your model - based on FSA Fact-sheet
Include qualities in a business supplier that protect/enhance your reputation
• e.g. financial strength, disaster recovery, added value services etc.







Create a short-list before RFI
Conduct interviews/site visits
Select wrap
Decide how often you will renew your due diligence exercise
Document it!!
