SUMMARY:PIMFA Live Online Training: Mastering Fair Value Assessments: Aligning with Consumer Duty Standards
DESCRIPTION:One of the most challenging outcomes of the Consumer Duty for firms to meet is that of fair price and value. In the opinion of the FCA\, “many of the fair value assessments we [FCA] have seen do not rely on solid data and other credible evidence to justify the products’ value to retail customers. [Sheldon Mills quote Feb 2024] \nThe regulator’s information request to 20 of the largest firms asking about their delivery of ongoing advice services highlights the need for PIMFA members to test whether their value framework are fit for purpose and challenge whether they are capturing the appropriate data and metrics to evidence their products and services are delivering fair value. \nIn this live\, tutor led online training course experts Alpha\, show you how you can stay ahead of FCA expectations\, identifying and addressing the regulators most recent concerns in assessing fair value and ongoing advice fees\, so that you can take swift action to address any shortcomings in your approach. \nBy the end of this masterclass\, you’ll be able to: \n\nRefine and improve your ongoing advice annual review process in light of recent FCA concerns.\nConfidently anticipate and respond\, with evidence\, to FCA questions and queries on your approach value assessments.\nPinpoint areas of immediate improvement to fair value assessment\, ensuring it is aligned with industry good practice.\nMap\, with greater clarity\, the critical data metrics required to identify consumer harm across different customer groups\, (particularly vulnerable or potentially vulnerable customers)\nCritically assess if your firm’s ongoing services are fairly priced\n\nWho should attend? \n• Compliance heads and leaders seeking to avoid foreseeable harm by enhancing and refining their fair value framework.\n• Internal auditors keen to address shortcomings in their approach who now seek a more robust\, data-driven approach for assessing fair value.\n• Risk leaders who want to ensure that fair value outliers can be effectively identified and rectified with appropriate accountability mechanisms.\n• Consumer Duty project leads who recognise the need for improvements\, want to know how leading firms use data and MI to monitor fair value on an ongoing basis.\n• Consumer Duty champions seeking to ensure their fair value analysis provide the board with a sufficient understanding of outcomes received across different customer groups. \n  \nBring you colleague along for free! \nPlease use coupon 7SX5YB2X at checkout for 50% off 2 Tickets \n  \nIf you experience any issues please email learning@pimfa.co.uk

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Understanding Customer Vulnerability – A Guide for Firms Launch
DESCRIPTION:There is currently a significant industry and regulatory spotlight on consumer vulnerability\, and it is paramount that firms are able to identify\, support and achieve good outcomes for vulnerable customers. The data requests of the wealth management industry and subsequent Dear CEO letters since November 2023 have shown this as a high priority and the expectation from the FCA that this is led from the top. \nPIMFA has been working closely with the regulator and member firms this year to understand better the extent and range of vulnerabilities that customers may face and to ensure that firms can correctly identify and support those customers. \nAs part of our work\, we will be launching a PIMFA Guide on Understanding Customer Vulnerability’\, which will be a valuable reference aid and tool for firms to use. The Guide\, based on our first version published in 2021\, will assist firms with creating vulnerability strategies and implementing processes and procedures that will not only help to meet regulatory obligations but also identify opportunities to enhance how firms serve all their customers. \nTo mark the publication of the Guide\, we will be holding an event on the 24th of October 2024\, where we will hear from the FCA and a range of industry CEOs and practitioners to discuss the importance of this topic and to share views and best practices and we would like to invite you to attend this event as our guest. Please see details below: \nDate: 24 October 2024\nTime: 14:00 – 17:30\nVenue: Online \nPlease note this is a virtual event which will be live-streamed. For further information please contact events@pimfa.co.uk  \nIf you are a PIMFA Member- Please ensure you are logged in to your account first before adding a ticket to your basket to access the member discounts. \n

SUMMARY:Risk Management: Tactics for Digital Assets
DESCRIPTION:In April 2023\, FCA’s Sarah Pritchard highlighted at City Week that while cryptoassets are growing in popularity\, many consumers don’t fully understand the risks involved. This lack of understanding poses significant risks not only to consumers but also to firms. With the introduction of consumer duty\, firms face substantial consequences if they fail to meet regulatory standards. \nJoin our live event to discover key strategies for managing these risks effectively.\nIn this live webinar we discuss the following aspects:\n• Key risk considerations\n• Global regulatory themes\n• Impacts for firms\n• Crucial steps for success\n• Ruleguard’s approach to risk management \nTo learn more about Ruleguard’s risk management solutions visit https://www.ruleguard.com/function/enterprise-risk-management-software.
