3 Introduction Mary Starks Director of Competition FCA
4 Progress Update 2018 Q1 Institutional Disclosure Working Group Dr Christopher Sier Chair, FCA IDWG Fintech Envoy Professor of Financial Technology Leeds University 09/02/2018 4
5 Summary The Why Terms of Reference (ToR) Philosophy and Principles The Templates so far what they are, how they were created, how they work, results of initial testing The Reference Template Ralph Frank The Account Template Piers Lowson The User Template Prof Iain Clacher Summary Next steps 09/02/2018 5
6 The Why Good for the Institutional Investor Best practice on costs data collection Better VFM decision-making Good for the The Consumer A bp saved is a bp earned, and this creates a real uplift in performance through the magic of compounding Good for the Asset Management Industry Define and standardise best practice cost data disclosure to reduce bespoking and duplication Improve trust at a time when trust is in short supply raise inflows, reduce outflows Identify inefficiencies in the investment supply chain and apply technology solutions ( fintech ) Good for the UK Support a systemically important UK sector Brand the UK as the best place to domicile your asset management company Tom Tugendhat Real investment charge transparency will supercharge the City (The Telegraph article, 19/08/17) Brand UK as the best place to have your money managed CHEAPER, LESS COMPLEX, MORE EFFICIENT, FAIRER 09/02/2018 6
7 The How (ToR) Cost and fee disclosure by asset managers to institutional investors is a complex issue and has several dimensions, each of which will be examined by the IDWG: 1. Breath of coverage and depth of data Are current templates sufficiently detailed or should they have additional data fields added, and be expanded to other security or vehicle types? Should separate templates be set for other suppliers in the value chain? 2. Different types of institutional investors have different data requirements What Institutional Investors should we consider and which should we prioritise for setting templates? How can the data needs of the different types of pension funds be respected? Are different data-capture mechanisms and data standards needed? 3. Data consistency What data is actually needed by different types of institutional investor for the purposes of accurate financial reporting and decision-making? Can the mechanisms alluded to above be used to provide this reporting and analysis? 09/02/2018 7
8 Key design principles and philosophy Wide range of expertise needed, therefore wide range of expertise on the Panel Don t reinvent the wheel re-use, build-on, adopt where possible LGPS, IA Code of Disclosure, ILPA Low-hanging fruit first DB vs DC Good data science is important Summary data is only as good as the data collected to create that summary Presentation One sheet vs. multiple sheets There is a pyramid of data we could construct Institutional asset owners use asset managers and their products/strategies to build their institutional products Asset managers build products and strategies from a rather limited set of underlying asset types 09/02/2018 8
9 Design Pyramid LOW granularity Summarises all costs from all account level data templates Iain Clacher User Template Disclosed to users One template per account All account costs included Costs unique to an asset class are split out Piers Lowson Account Template HIGH granularity Reference template variables will be mapped to the account level template Ralph Frank Reference Template Used by the working group 09/02/2018 9
10 The Reference Template
11 What is the Reference Template? A resource to support the consistent completion of the Account Template (and, by extension, the User template) Each cost and charge is clearly defined Each cost and charge is mapped to a specific cell in the Account Template
12 Evolution of the Reference Template Started with the six stages of an investment product s lifecycle and considered six categories of costs Created consistent definitions of the costs and charges Determined the mapping to the Account Template Worked to identify as many costs and charges as we know of within these 36 categories Organised the costs and charges into consistent groupings to inform development of the Account Template Re-organise the structure of the Reference Template to aid ease of use (with the Account Template)
13 Sample costs and charges Investment administration Definition: Investment administration costs capture the explicit charges incurred in administering the investments. These are often referred to as back-office costs. Map to: Administration Investment administration Stamp Duty Reserve Tax Definition: Stamp Duty Reserve Tax is a tax paid on all equity purchases settled through CREST Map to: 3.1 Portfolio transaction costs Transaction taxes

18 Trustee testing 50+ trustees consulted We asked trustees to select the best fund based on net performance Majority preferred deduct rather than add-back The norm in life and finance is to move from gross to net
19 Trustee feedback Categorizations are useful but definitions and clarity is needed Some want more detail on the make up of costs account template There will need to be a programme of trustee education to get to grips with this Differentiate between what is paid to third parties from what is paid to investment managers There needs to be more information than this for vfm to be assessed
20 Investment consultants Historically trustees have been focussed on net of all costs and mainly on AMC Not all categories will be understandable to all trustees There needs to be clear descriptions of line-items and an ability to breakdown understand the constituent parts
21 Next Steps Complete the mapping exercise for the Reference Template Confirm the data fields in the Account Template 09/02/
