Emeritus Prof Christopher May

When the Financial Conduct Authority's proposals to 'simplify' mandatory disclosures for investment products (moving away from EU rules) are welcomed by the Financial Services sector, you might well smell a rat....

These disclosures while complex were intended to ensure investors had as much information as possible before investing.... of course, financial services firms would like a simpler disclosure regime; their endemic corruption is always hidden in the detail!

@ChrisMayLA6 I completely agree. Having acted as a consultant for decades, mostly in the finance sector, I’ve watched crash after self-inflicted crash. Regulation is there for a purpose, and when it fails it’s we who suffer through losses by pension funds and so on. The one group that always emerges unscathed is the bankers themselves.
