The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is rolling out a heap of new measures to “move the dial on risk” among Britons as it bids to lead on the charge to boost retail investment, including through allowing them to remove legal jargon that confuses consumers. In a suite of consultations unveiled on Monday, the City regulator said it wanted to help consumers make better-informed decisions about investing in stocks and shares. It also laid out plans to allow firms to make investments more accessible and “engaging” for Britons, with consultations to draw views and opinions from consumer groups and investment firms. They come just a few months before City giants are expected to launch a nationwide advertising campaign to get Britons to put more savings in stocks and shares ISAs, with a cut to the cash ISA limit being a part of a wider push to back UK-listed companies.\n\nThe government has also pushed to boost capital markets in the country, offering newly-listed companies a three-year holiday from stamp duty on shares. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first set of changes will come in the form of how the City regulator distinguishes retail investors from professional traders. Its consultation paper said new proposals aimed at strengthening clarifications beyond a “tick-box approach” would allow platforms to offer a “more diverse range of products” for clients looking to bear greater risks with complex investments.  Changed assessments of investors and a new route for wealthy individuals with at least £10m in assets to opt out of retail protections will improve overall consumer protection and boost growth, the FCA argued.\n\nFCA to prevent ‘gamification’ among platformsThe next part of reforms involves consolidating information provided to consumers under the Consumer Duty, a set of regulations for financial services firms to protect retail investors, bank users and other Britons. Red tape on templating and documentation will be “stripped away” and allow firms to be more creative in how they can attract Britons to retail investing.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.11","shortVersion":"4.35.11","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2589012353","isCrawlerRequest":true}
