Most IFA clients are supportive of the incoming adviser charging regime, research suggests.
Fund managers looking to offer clean share classes could find it "cheaper" and "simpler" to adapt existing institutional share classes as opposed to developing new ones, Deloitte has suggested.
Cofunds has reported a 10% dip in profits for last year, citing investment in retail distribution review (RDR) readiness as the reason for the drop.
