One of the recommendations of that report was that investment consultants should be brought into Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) regulation.</p><p> </p><p>In the March 2019 response to the recommendations of the CMA’s final report, HM Treasury committed to consulting on the CMA’s recommendation that the FCA’s regulatory perimeter be extended to cover the activities of investment consultants. A number of other priorities, including the urgent work required to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, meant that the work to develop this consultation has been delayed.</p><p> </p><p>However, a number of other recommendations made by the CMA to address competition in this market have been taken forward, such as the Department for Work and Pensions’ legislation requiring pension scheme trustees to carry out a competitive tender for fiduciary management services.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury works closely with the FCA and has held regular discussions with them on this matter.</p>
