TheFinancial Services Authority(FSA) has recommended new qualification rules for complex products,Citywirereports. The FSA, which will restrict advisers with the minimum qualification requirement to sell only mainstream products, will publish a list of products it considers unsuitable for mainstream investors, which will include life settlements.
The FSA has considered extending the RU64 rule, which imposed a requirement on advisers to benchmark pensions against the stakeholder option, to other products. It has also suggested preventing non-advised sales around certain complex products, including pension transfers or distributor-influenced funds and only allowing professional clients to buy complex products on a non-advised basis.
