The speech on transforming to a forward-looking, proactive regulator, delivered by Financial Conduct Authority chief executive Nikhil Rathi at the launch of the FCA’s 2021-22 Business Plan this morning:

The FCA is set to reduce its fees for advisers by 1.1% over the next year although overall costs for advisers could go up, according to its fee proposals published today.

The Financial Conduct Authority has today published its key priorities for 2017/17 in its new Mission Statement and Business Plan designed to give firms and consumers “greater clarity” and more “transparency” about how the FCA prioritises its interventions in financial markets.
