Fairer Finance: Consumer Duty, Evidencing Fair Value and Consumer Understanding
The Consumer Duty is one of the biggest changes in financial services regulation for 20 years, and it is underpinned by behavioural science. Without behavioural science, the Consumer Duty would be almost unthinkable. The FCA now expects insurers to make good decisions easy for consumers, and bad decisions hard. In this interactive webinar Fairer Finance will cover how to evidence consumer understanding and fair value in an insurance context.
Looking to continue the conversation? Join us at 1.00pm for Part 2, for a focussed panel discussion and live Q&A. Please note: Part 2 requires a separate booking for the access link.

Invesco Investment Intelligence Seminar
Join us for the next round of Invesco's Investment Intelligence Seminars, 2025, as we continue to build upon your knowledge, providing topical content for you to share with your clients.
All Change?
The team will explore the most important trends they see in today’s global macroeconomic and market backdrop, outlining the near-term risks to our growth and inflation views and what would make us change our mind.
The post-GFC, pre-covid era saw very low and stable inflation and low interest rates. Compared to history that period was unusual. The team will discuss how and why the next twenty years might differ profoundly from the last twenty years.
A new normal means investors may need to adapt their investment approach. The team will discuss what you might want to consider when investing in this new landscape.

The risks posed by lithium batteries
Lithium-ion batteries were first mass-produced in the early 1990s, and they are performing a key role in the move away from reliance upon fossil fuels. However, using lithium to store energy presents a new set of risks to property underwriters.
This session is designed to draw the underwriter’s and broker’s attention to these risks and why rating and wording alterations may be needed to counter this growing problem.
