Insurance Wholesaling - Product Value Policy Guidance Manual

Product Governance Value Policy Guidance Manual

£295.00

Ecompli supports several General Insurance Brokers who are involved in the manufacturing and/or distribution of general insurance so we produced a Product Governance Value Policy Guidance Manual back in September 2020.  This included guidance on what firms should consider when manufacturing and/or distributing insurance products to ensure that they met the fair value requirements.

Since then we have continually updated the manual including ensuring it meets the Consumer Duty requirements which affects all products and services sold or renewed from the 31st July 2023.

The manual includes guidance to assist firms to assess the design and distribution of products and services and to ensure they are fit for purpose and are a fair value.  It can also act as evidence to Insurers that the firm has taken on board the FCA requirements under the Product Governance rules, the Consumer Duty and the culture it has embedded.

FORMAT: All documents are downloadable via email upon receipt of payment.
