"Given the unexpected challenges that the mortgage market faced last year, we have made it a priority to continue to strengthen our proposition and invest in resources"
As part of its New Year’s resolution for 2017, TMA plans to further develop its DA compliance bulletins for educational awareness, as well as launch a new DA Compliance Package to support smaller, independent advisors across the country.
The club says smaller DA firms often feel "neglected and overwhelmed when it comes to the constant flow of papers and updates from the regulator".
Last year, TMA conducted an internal restructure to develop a dedicated DA mortgage support function. Looking at 2017, TMA aims to further enhance this offering and continue to invest in the individual personal development plans of its staff.
David Copland, director of TMA mortgage club, said: “Working in partnership with our advisers will remain our core focus for the upcoming year. We started preparing our plans for 2017 in the third quarter of 2016, ensuring that we set ourselves realistic goals that, once realised, will provide genuine support for our members.
"Given the unexpected challenges that the mortgage market faced last year, we have made it a priority to continue to strengthen our proposition and invest in resources, which will further enhance our commitment to the directly authorised intermediaries. We look forward to what 2017 brings and hope to successfully keep our New Year’s resolutions.”
