View event detailsDrawdown - what lessons have we learned?
This session will focus on challenges faced by advisers, in the current climate, for clients nearing and entering drawdown - or for those already there with an upcoming review. Whether active in the DB space or not, I think we can all agree that the Finalised Guidance on DB transfers published in March contained some very interesting and useful insights around what the regulator are looking for when it comes to processes. The majority of risks associated with DB Transfers apply to drawdown clients - regardless of where they are on their journey. What are your thoughts on this? How do your processes stand up to the test? Have you considered your current framework and checked this against the guidance provided from the regulator?

View event detailsWebinar: Supervision Strategy - FCA's new supervision strategy for GI brokers
In the FCA’s Dear CEO letter of 4 September 2020 they set out a new supervision strategy for GI brokers as they believe customers are buying unsuitable or poor value products and that insufficient or unclear information is being provided at point of sale and inappropriate sales tactics are the biggest contributors of customer harm. Whilst the letter covers everything below the one hour event will focus on the following:- 1. Firms’ response to covid; 2. Governance and oversight; 3. Bedding in of SMCR to incl Conduct Rules for all staff; 4. Incentive arrangements incl remuneration for firm and staff; 5. Business models incl distribution chains, product oversight and design, sales and renewals, conflicts of interest and ARs; 6. Uncertainty brought about by the BI court case and handling of claims, complaints and ongoing communications; 7. Brief reminder - EU withdrawal + actions that should have been taken by 31/12/20. It is very clear from the FCA’s pronouncements on vulnerable customers and pricing that more work is to come for brokers and insurers alike.

View event detailsCPD Webinar Presentation Thursday 4th February 2021 - "The insurance implications of Brexit"
Despite dominating much of press coverage for many years, due to the occurrence of Covid-19 around the globe Brexit is now getting far less press coverage, and there is a danger the insurance industry could slip into 2021 without fully considering the impact of Brexit. The UK left the EU at the end of the year and there will be implications for insurance contracts. Whilst there is a chance of something being negotiated the FCA are preparing for all eventualities. This webinar, presented by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK will run through a brief history of how the EU has changed insurance, before exploring how the insurance industry could change from January. There will be Implications for nearly all classes of business including motor insurance, travel insurance, commercial insurance and marine insurance which will be explored as well as exploring what will be the position on insurers who passport into the UK.
View event detailsCPD Webinar Presentation Friday 29 January 2021 - FCA Business Interruption Insurance Test Case – Supreme Court Appeal
This comprehensive and interactive one-hour webinar will focus on the judgment of the Supreme Court following the appeal of the FCA’s ground-breaking test case at the High Court. The appeal concluded on 19 November and the judgment will be handed down expeditiously. Four days were spent setting out starkly differing views between the FCA and insurers. The appeal judgment will be very clear and all parties will have to accept it. The FCA consider some 370,000 insureds have had payments denied and they have battled to convince the five Justices that sense should prevail and that a composite cause has operated – covid + government regulations + the public response and insurers have disputed this saying this is stretching causation too far. This case will be momentous and will set clear precedent as to the clarity of wordings and what needs to happen to ensure future cover (or lack of) is clear and understood by all parties. At the same time it will highlight the ongoing exposure for insurance brokers all of whom will have arranged these covers for clients (and some will be classed as co-manufacturers under PROD) and encourage them to robustly reassess their advice process under ICOBS and their overriding professional duty to clients thus ensuring they can access fairly-priced professional indemnity insurance rather than be subject to an unacceptable blanket exclusion.
View event detailsCPD Webinar Presentation Tuesday 19 January 2021. Motor Legal Expenses (MLE). A presentation by Bernard Thornton FCII Chartered Insurance Practitioner
Motor Legal Expenses (MLE) is a class of insurance frequently misunderstood, overlooked or dismissed altogether. For many claimants however, MLE can be a vital form of cover, and one which is changing significantly with the upcoming implementation of the Civil Liability Act. This important legal instrument is set to make sweeping changes to the way both personal injury and ULR claims are handled and calls for major changes in the way MLE is worded, priced and sold. The wide variety of policies, cover, and marketing options can be confusing for clients and sometimes for insurance professionals. This webinar seeks to demystify MLE and to clarify what needs to be taken into account when considering and recommending cover to clients. The webinar will be of value to those involved in Motor claims, underwriting, broking or anyone wishing to widen their knowledge of a highly topical and fast-moving aspect of general insurance.
