The Commission shares the results of a 2017 study into the current functioning of European markets for retail investment products.
Key Points:
..The European Commission’s Final Report is the result of examining a broad spectrum of retail investment products across 15 Member States, with a particular focus on how retail investors prefer to access those products and the issues affecting the products’ distribution.
..The Commission’s findings are the result of desk-based market research, as well as extensive mystery shopping. The Final Report therefore includes a broad overview of the entry and exit fees and on-going charges (where relevant) of each category of retail investment product in the scope of the study.
..The Final Report will be used by policymakers to develop future regulatory change.
