Description

The Retail Distribution Review (RDR) was established in June 2006 to look at how retail investments are
distributed to consumers in the UK. The overall purpose of RDR is to:
• Improve the clarity with which firms describe their services to consumers
• Address the potential for adviser remuneration to distort consumer outcomes
• Increase the professional standards of advisers
This aim is to restore consumer confidence in the investment market at a time when more people are in
need of professional financial advice.
