UK Retail Distribution Review

The Financial Conduct Authority has introduced regulations (the Retail Distribution Review) to require the bulk of the investment industry to reduce bias and improve quality of investment advice. This will force many firms to move closer to policies adopted by Stern.  Advice from J. Stern & Co LLP and Star Fund Managers LLP is categorised by the FCA as “restricted” because we do not advise on the whole range of “retail investment products”.   For example, we do not provide investment advice on products, such as stakeholder pensions, individual savings accounts or personal pension schemes. The service we provide all our clients is impartial, objective and unbiased.
