FCA Pure Protection Market Study/Launch of the Retirement Compass

In this week's episode, we dive into the detail of the FCA's pure protection market study, which was published on 21 September 2026. It's a disappointing end to a major piece of work - as the FCA decides not to address many of the market's failure, and focuses instead on how to help grow the sector. In the second half of the show, we discuss the launch of Fairer Finance's Retirement Compass report - diving into the detail of who is using their housing wealth to fund retirement, and what the FCA and Treasury are doing to help more people do the same.
