Are you ready? Do you need help?
Ready or not, you will find lot’s of useful information in our Transitions area right now.
Our Transition microsite has been designed with input from providers, IFAs and various support services to promote an understanding of what you need to do to ensure the ongoing success of your business in light of all the changes RDR presents. This resource will especially assist those who are facing the undoubted challenges that a mid to later working lifestyle change can bring and providing peer support in the process.
The microsite targets IFAs both in transition and those already qualified and RDR ready as we hope that they can share their knowledge and experience and inspire the current wave of IFAs in transition as well as the future generation of IFAs.

David Beckham is only the fifth England footballer to win 100 caps. The other players who have achieved this status are: Billy Wright (the first player in the world to reach the magic number, at Wembley in April 1959), Sir Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore and Peter Shilton.
The Hundred Years' War was a series of conflicts waged from 1337 to 1453 between England and France, therefore not being 100 years but 116. This error was due to the monks, who were the only literates going to sleep at 99 years and only waking up 17 years later.
Hopefully 100 days in the Financial Services context will become 465, if they take any notice of the TSC
