Tenet Launch ‘RDR-Ready’ Adviser Support Programme

Issued: 21 April 2010

Tenet launch guide to help IFAs make an informed choice and plan more effectively for the post-RDR world

Tenet distribution & development director, Keith Richards, says the group is concerned that four out of five investment advisers do not hold the necessary qualifications to continue operating as an IFA after 2012, according to recent industry data.

Therefore, in a bid to ensure that advisers are fully informed of RDR requirements and equipped to tackle the major challenges and opportunities that lie ahead after 2012, Tenet have launched an innovative 'RDR-ready' adviser support campaign.

It's the latest phase of the company's drive to increase awareness of what it has to offer to a wider market - not just Tenet clients - having successfully re-branded and re-launched its proposition at the beginning of March.

Reinforcing Tenet's new partnership approach, it includes a comprehensive 12-page guide to RDR, a dedicated internet microsite (http://www.tenetmakessense.co.uk/), bespoke QCF4 training packages, important advice on switching to a fee-based service, a freephone helpline (0800 085 0825) and even the opportunity for advisers to receive a free personalised qualifications audit & individual action plan.

“We are entering a period of significant change which affects every part of the industry, yet there still remains a lot of uncertainty and misunderstanding of what is required and the options available,” Keith Richards commented.

“What we’ve done is produce a simple, straightforward, unbiased guide to help IFAs make an informed choice and plan more effectively for the post-RDR world.”
