The FCA's Consumer Composite Investments regulations reshape how investment product disclosures are made to UK retail investors. Are you ready?
The CCI framework represents the most significant shift in UK retail disclosure since PRIIPs. For asset managers, this isn't just another compliance exercise—it's a chance to modernise disclosure practices and strengthen investor engagement.
What's Changing
The Regulations give firms greater discretion in determining customer information needs while being accountable for clarity and accessibility. The framework builds on the UK's Consumer Duty principles, requiring disclosures that retail investors can easily understand and use.
The challenge: delivering compliant, clear communications that work across all levels of investor understanding for all products sold into the UK retail market, while managing production timelines and regulatory filing obligations.
The rules aim to simplify the pre-sales information provided to investors by focusing on:
Costs and charges
To demonstrate the impact of a product's cost on investor returns
Risk and reward
Introducing a new 1-10 risk scale to help investors understand whether products are suitable
Past performance
Reintroducing past performance disclosures to inform investors about a product's historical behaviour
Why This Matters for Your Business
Regulatory Risk
Non-compliance carries regulatory, reputational and financial consequences. Firms who do not comply by the June 2027 deadline will no longer be able to market their products to UK retail investors, regardless of the product's domicile. The CCI framework demands disclosure accuracy made in plain English to enable investors to make the correct choice when taking an investment decision.
Operational Efficiency
Fragmented document production systems create bottlenecks, increase error rates, and make it difficult to respond quickly to regulatory feedback or market changes.
Market Opportunity
Clearer, more accessible disclosures can differentiate your funds, improve investor confidence, and support distribution growth—particularly in advised and platform channels where disclosure quality influences fund selection.
Your CCI Implementation Path
With the clock ticking on an 18 month transition period, firms can opt to adopt the new requirements from 6 April 2026, with the final compliance deadline being 8 June 2027.
The regulatory timeline is compressed. Firms that begin planning now will have capacity to test, refine, and implement without last-minute pressure.
