Helping you adapt to the new legislation
The Consumer Duty regulations went live on 31 July 2023. We’ve put together this toolkit to help advisers adapt to the changes.
Whether you are running a centralised investment proposition (CIP), building your own portfolios or outsourcing to a provider such as Copia, the regulatory requirements are clear:
“Where a firm works with others in a distribution chain and conducts due diligence on those other firms, it should consider the Duty as part of that due diligence.” [1]
The challenge is not only to ensure compliance, but to also ensure your CIP doesn’t become unmanageable. A pragmatic and proportionate approach to implementation is required, and we want to help.

Target Market Assessments
Under Consumer Duty all providers, including Copia, must publish material documenting the target market for their products/services by 30th April 2023.
This will then allow you to make an informed assessment of whether they can provide a suitable solution for your target clients.
You can find target market assessments for all our portfolio ranges on the appropriate web page.
Value for Money Assessments
As well as communicating their target market, by 30th April 2023 all providers must also evidence that their products/services are of good value.
These assessments should form part of advisers’ research and due diligence process.
You can find value for money assessments for all our portfolio ranges on the appropriate web page and you can find out more about our rigorous process for demonstrating value for money here.
