PIMFA Live Online Learning: Product Governance: What Does Good Look Like Under Consumer Duty?

The FCA’s Consumer Duty has added a further layer of complexity and risk to PIMFA member firms seeking to ensure that their products and services are centred around clients’ identified needs and benefits. Now, firms have to meet the requirements laid out in PROD and MiFID II, as well as an increasingly stringent supervisory approach to product governance under the Consumer Duty.
