One of their proposed remedies is to refer the market for investment advisory and fiduciary management services to institutional investors to the CMA for further investigation . The FCA is considering whether to refer the market to the CMA. Should they decide to do this, the reference is likely to be made during September. We are considering commissioning survey research with the main customer groups for providers of these services to inform any investigation the CMA conducts into this market. A final decision on whether to do so would be made following an FCA referral, should there be one. The investment advisory market consists of a dozen or so large players, with around 60% of market share being accounted for by the three largest investment consultancy firms , with a tail of smaller consultancies. We would propose to conduct a telephone survey, primarily with pension scheme trustees. ## CPV classification Market research services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d8626422-2281-4b91-bb6b-a7b718b257b5) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
