A financial adviser who was jailed for stealing from his pensioner clients has been banned from working in financial services by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has outlined a number of good and bad practice scenarios around the design and delivery of ongoing advice.

Advisers are charging clients more post-Retail Distribution Review (RDR), despite falling product prices, a consultancy hired by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has found.

The banning of commission on retail investments and the subsequent revelation of the "true cost" of advice has led some clients to consider the value of what their adviser offers, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has conceded.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has declared the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), its long-standing project to revamp the retail investment advice market, is working, though some concerns remain on the costs of advisers' services.

Dr Nicholas Motson (pictured), a lecturer in finance at the Cass Business School, has called for greater disclosure of fund holdings in order to allow researchers to calculate retail funds' "active share".

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has banned former BlackRock managing director Jonathan Burrows for dodging rail fares worth £43,000.
