PS19/29 Making transfers simpler – feedback to CP19/12
Member firms, particularly platforms, may be interested in this policy statement which deals with the transfer of assets between platforms. This is not specific to pension assets but all assets that a platform might have control over including those sitting in an ISA or GIA.
