Winning Client Trust - The Retail Distribution Review and the UK Financial Services industry's battle for its clients'hearts and minds. The Retail Distribution Review (RDR) is a reality. 2013 will herald a new dawn for the retail financial services industry. The Financial Services Authority is currently sticking to its radical'consumer protection'agenda with its key objectives: transparent and fair product and service fee based charging, clarity for consumers on services offered and industry professionalisation through higher financial adviser qualications. But do the industry and its clients understand the RDR's consequences: intended or otherwise? With client to industry trust still on fragile ground, the answer to winning client trust is far from simple. This book delves deep into the RDR ramifications for both the industry and its clients and works through the major issues to answer the key questions. Chris Davies'international and domestic experience within financial services brings together disparate views and engaging analysis of the RDR and its effects on the UK financial services industry and its clients.

This text is concerned with the increasingly important and problematic area of financial exclusion, broadly defined as the inability and/or reluctance of particular societal groups to access mainstream financial services. This has emerged as a major international policy issue. There is growing evidence that deregulation in developed financial sectors improves financial inclusion for some societal groups (more products become available to a bigger customer base), but may at the same time exacerbate it for others (for example, by emphasizing greater customer segmentation and more emphasis on risk-based pricing and'value added'). In developing countries access to financial services is typically limited and therefore providing wider access to such services can aid financial and economic development. This is the first text to analyze financial exclusion issues in different parts of the world and it covers the various public and private sector mechanisms that have been advanced to help eradicate this problem.
