FE fundinfo launches UK CCI solution on its Nexus platform ahead of April 2026 obligations

Nexus delivers end-to-end CCI support, from data management to regulatory disclosures to dissemination, with built-in AI validation across regulatory frameworks

FE fundinfo, a leading financial data company connecting the investment industry across the UK, Europe and Asia Pacific through its Nexus platform, today announced the launch of its Consumer Composite Investments (CCI) solution, supported by AI-driven validation, giving product manufacturers a route to accurate and timely document production and enabling delivery at scale for new and existing products.

The FCA's CCI framework takes effect on 6 April 2026, opening a 14-month transitional period during which impacted firms of UK-distributed retail investment products can begin producing clear, understandable Product Summaries that help investors assess costs, risks, performance and product characteristics. With a hard compliance deadline of 8 June 2027, firms need to begin preparing now, or risk losing the ability to market products to UK retail investors.

Unlike PRIIPs KIDs, the FCA has not prescribed a fixed format for CCI Product Summaries, leaving firms to interpret the requirements themselves. Product manufacturers must determine their own approach to disclosures while meeting and evidencing Consumer Duty obligations: jargon-free language, clear layout and accessibility. For those marketing large volumes of retail products into the UK, the operational challenge is substantial.

FE fundinfo addresses this with a ready-to-use solution for streamlined document generation, alongside an AI-validation tool that checks each consumer disclosure document against the regulatory framework, assessing readiness against more than 150 UK CCI criteria. The same capability extends to EU and UK PRIIPs, providing a single validation layer across evolving post-Brexit regulations.

Helen Slater, Regulatory Manager at FE fundinfo, said: "Regulation is moving faster than many firms' operating models can keep pace with, and CCI is no exception. It is the first major divergence of retail disclosure rules post-Brexit, and many manufacturers are still working out how to turn high-level FCA expectations into clear, consumer-friendly documents. FE fundinfo is giving its clients a practical solution built on its Nexus platform: one validated source of data connected to all their regulatory requirements powered by AI, so they can scale the cost of meeting regulatory obligations with confidence across frameworks."

Through Nexus, FE fundinfo clients can manage the full disclosure lifecycle in one place - collection, production, dissemination, registration and filing - drawing on the same golden source of data underpinning their existing UK PRIIPs and UCITS compliance workflows, with no need to re-source or re-validate underlying data.

FE fundinfo’s established position across the investment industry makes Nexus a natural fit for an end-to-end CCI solution. It absorbs industry template changes on behalf of clients, including updates like the EMT and EPT revisions announced earlier this week by FinDatEx, ensuring distribution continues without disruption. The company is also building ahead to support clients through forthcoming regulatory change, including PRIIPs reform, SFDR and AIFMD Annex IV reporting.
