Why have you decided to tackle soft commissioning and fee bundling now?
It’s important for customers to be clear how their money is spent. We believe that there are conflicts of interest under the current system.
What evidence have you found that the arrangement whereby fund managers pay soft commissions and bundle together the fees they receive for research and execution is detrimental to investors?
There is very little high-quality information about the dynamics of the UK marketplace, so before we launched any regulatory proposals we wanted to make sure that we understood the nature and scope of the conflicts and the underlying economics of the market.
