TCF & Outsourcing Research

We believe that all Advisory firms should consider the potential of outsourcing their product and fund research needs, particularly in light of the FSA’s initiative on Treating Customers Fairly (TCF). This will become more important as the proposals in the FSA’s Review of Retail Distribution (RDR) evolves and Advisers need to have a robust investment research in place.

But where do you begin and how do you start? RSM operates a simple proven approach so you can easily assess the benefits for your business even if you already have existing resources in place.

We will review your current processes and benchmark this against what is available under our outsourcing model.  This way you get to understand:

• your current process with a checklist of potential areas of regulatory risk
• the benefits of outsourcing
• an alternative approach including robust methodologies, full documentation and audit trail
• the costings within a detailed proposal together with implementation and timescales
