E&Y urges tied and multi-tied advice ahead of next RDR report in October

Ernst & Young (E&Y) urges product providers and banks to press the FSA for tied and multi-tied advice ahead of the next RDR report in October.

Shaun Crawford, Ernst & Young insurance leader, said providers and advisors alike must find a viable way to provide advice to the mass market.

‘It is clear that a section of society needs to be pushed rather than guided into buying protection and long-term savings products and this should start from the focus of consumer need,’ he told the MoneyMarketing magazine.

‘This is the big unanswered question within the RDR interim review and it will require a lot of work from providers, and particularly banks over the next few months, to convince the FSA that there is a real need for tied or multi-tied advice. The FSA now urgently needs solutions from the industry and not questions and challenges.’
