Events and training
UCIS road shows with ThreeSixty:
BLG have collaborated with Capital Platform and ThreeSixty to run a series of road shows for IFAs, Investment Professionals and Intermediaries.
After the FSA's recent and on-going report and its conclusions on the profound lack of knowledge of UCIS and how to recommend UCIS products, financial intermediaries have come to think that UCIS are indeed "very difficult", and/or that they should stop recommending UCIS altogether. But UCIS are not a road that can be avoided. Removing all unregulated products from a portfolio is as unsuitable as recommending UCIS to any wholesale client, and with the RDR in 2012 comes the obligation of knowing UCIS products altogether.
The seminars cover the following topics: Understanding and using UCIS safely, FSA Compliance, In-depth analysis of four types of UCIS product.
Our latest road show has just come to an end but we will be offering similar events in the future, please register your interest for future events by contacting us > more
