RDR: State Of The Advice Market 10 Years On 2023 | Financial Times Live | 23 January 2023 | FT Forums, 1 Friday St, London EC4M 9BT, UK

It is now 10 years since the Retail Distribution Review came into effect, ushering in the biggest change to the adviser marketplace since depolarisation.

Over the past decade, we have seen the rise in adviser professionalism, increasing transparency on fees and a strong focus on consumer outcomes. But we have also witnessed an ever-widening advice gap, caused by an initial outflow of advisers and the removal of commission; a tightening professional indemnity insurance market and ever-burdensome levies on firms who remain.

This event, brought to you by FTAdviser, will explore how advisers can build on the experience of the past 10 years to succession-proof their businesses for the next 10 years, reach a wider range of clients and use the advances in technology to streamline processes and grow their operations.

• how RDR has influenced the financial advice market in 10 years since its introduction
• with top level financial advisers and the regulators working on policy decisions such as the RDR
• how you can build on the experience of the past 10 years to reach a wider range of clients, streamline processes and succession proof your business
