The 2020 survey is the fifth iteration FE fundinfo has run, which seeks to track trends and developments from within the financial advice industry. Last year’s survey informed the findings of the 2019 ‘Walking on Shifting Sands - how Advisers are Negotiating a Changing Landscape’ report, which featured in the press and found that advisers had been slow to adopt MIFID II rules.

This year’s survey looks at a number of prominent issues within the industry, including business conditions, regulation and trends in investing.

For every completed survey, FE fundinfo will be donating £5 to Shelter this Christmas and will offer one respondent the chance to win a Sonos Play speaker.
