Boulding will head up the development of thought leadership across all of TISA’s Policy Councils, with a specific focus on co-ordinating with The Savings & Investments Policy project recommendations.
His appointment is part of the development plan initiated by the Association’s Director-General, David Dalton-Brown, to re-invigorate the work of the member-led councils and working groups and to build on the relationships with government, regulators and consumer groups.
Current TISA/TSIP policy initiatives include: gathering the views of members as part of the consultation on pensions tax relief; seeking greater clarity around the MiFID II Directive, particularly the important aspects of appropriateness and product governance and responding to the Financial Advice Market Review.
Adrian Boulding said:
“I’m committed to helping people to save money for their long-term financial wellbeing so that they can enjoy the retirement lifestyle that they aspire to. However, one of our biggest challenges as an industry is to rebuild trust and to demonstrate the relevance of prudent financial planning.
“TISA has an excellent track record in this regard, and with TSIP, is well-placed to be able to bring about meaningful change which will benefit savers and investors as well as being good for our economy. There’s much to do but I believe TISA is uniquely placed to act as the link between savers, policy-makers, regulator and the financial services industry.”
