Boring Money - Change and Growth

Boring Money 2025 - Change and Growth

Change is inevitable, Growth is optional.

Back for its fourth year, Boring Money’s annual client conference looks at the latest regulatory changes in the market and explores the challenges and opportunities for investment and pension providers.

  • Wednesday, 10th September 2025

  • Time: 8:30am – 1:00pm

  • M&G, 10 Fenchurch Avenue, London, EC3M 5AG

What to expect:

This year, we will be exploring how key regulatory changes will change the strategic landscape for the industry in 2026 and beyond.

In particular, we will consider how the ongoing impact of Consumer Duty, the new communications regime, and also Targeted Support will present both opportunities and threats for the industry.

You will hear from experts on:

  1. The changing face of retail distribution – what does the end customer want and need in 2025?

  2. The Consumer Composite Investments Regime (CCI) – how to better communicate product information, performance, risk and charges

  3. Delivering targeted support – what do the first steps look like?
