The Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) proposed ban on contingency charging for DB transfers will end up hurting those who need advice the most, says SimplyBiz joint chief executive Matt Timmins.
Speaking to New Model Adviser®, Matt Timmins said that he did not envy the regulator as it consults on the ban and that the end of contingent charging would result in a ‘massive’ pensions advice gap similar to that caused by the thinning of adviser numbers after the retail distribution review (RDR).
