PIMFA Online Training Course: Meeting Your Clients ESG Needs under Consumer Duty – Principles and Practices Your Advisor Population Need To Know And Adopt

It’s too easy for PIMFA Member Firms to assume that their current suitability checks and approach to assessing a client’s ESG preferences will stand up to regulatory scrutiny through the lens of Consumer Duty.

In less than seven months, the FCA requires you to be able to evidence that your firm is putting themselves ‘in the shoes of your customers’, acting in good faith, avoiding causing foreseeable harm and enabling customers to achieve their financial objectives.

So how can your firm meet these exacting expectations by 31st July?

This CPD Accredited and CISI Endorsed course takes you step by step through a framework your firm can adopt to improve your approach to client suitability, the critical component in your firm’s ability to meet the Duty’s two outcomes on customer support and consumer understanding.

In addition, a follow-on coaching session with your trainers, at no extra cost, ensures your advisor population not only meets their regulatory obligations, but have a playbook to develop a deeper, closer relationship with their clients.

In this live, interactive, tutor lead online training course, we take you through how you can:

• • Update your current approach to suitability to align with the new Consumer Duty before the 31st July.
  • Cascade to your advisor population a proven, best practice approach to improve how they assess their ESG client preferences.
