According to research by Datamonitor, the UK has the most advanced financial advice market in Europe. The two leading nations are the UK and Germany both having highly developed Independent Financial Advisory regimes.
Our view:
Difficulties stretch across Europe with no common standard for qualifications and no common standards for regulation. The UK would appear to have a stronger model than most other Nations despite the bad press that the industry receives. Expect expansion by UK advisers into European markets.
