Financial firms that that provide advice on, or arrange, mortgages, insurance policies or retail investment products for consumers must send the FCA information about their activities on the Retail Mediation Activities Return (RMAR).
The FCA uses this information to help it supervise the activities of these intermediary firms and inform the FCA’s other regulatory functions. The FCA has published data from the RMAR since 2016. This analysis gives an update on firms in the retail intermediary sector based on data for 2019.
