FSA offers discretionaries PCIAM reassurance

If approved, this will mean that new entrants to the profession, and existing advisers who are seeking RDR compliance who prefer a level 4 qualification to the level 6 PCIAM, will also be able to take a single qualification that will enable them to meet the requirements of both retail advice and discretionary management.
Ruth Martin, CISI managing director, said: 'We are pleased that the FSA has listened to our representations, which have come about as a result of our close liaison with the industry and feedback we have received from firms and individuals.'
