This online symposium is inspired by the idea that despite ten years or more of activity around the issue of costs and charges in the pensions and investments space, we are still a long way away from investors – both institutional and retail, having access to the clear and intelligible information they need.

Without suitable information on costs and charges, it is not possible to make sufficiently informed decisions; and the bottom line is that opacity on costs and charges continues to drive out sub-optimal outcomes. Ultimately, this means poorer returns than might otherwise might be the case.

Our message is not that minimum costs are best – there are many reasons why the cheapest option may not be the best option.

Our message is that clients deserve to know what the costs are so that options can be considered and benchmarked, properly weighed up informed decisions can be made.
Why is it taking the pensions and investments sector so long to get something as fundamental as proper costs disclosure to happen?

Our event is one more step forward in galvanising support for the positive, progressive and purposeful finance reform that is desperately needed.
