Ongoing work
As governments and regulators transition from preserving their economies following our financial crisis, AMI is at the forefront of the debates over the new controls and regulation to be applied to the industry. Although we are still finding our way out of the consequences and beginning the journey down the road to recovery, we have yet to see the volume of mortgages written each year increase. Mortgage Intermediaries have continued to deliver outstanding service to their customers in sourcing the most appropriate mortgages available in the market. At the same time they have been increasingly providing valuable advice on how to protect their loved ones from the risks of death, critical illness, sickness or unemployment.
Within the UK we have been looking at how we can deliver a mortgage industry that is more sustainable for both lenders and customers. The Financial Services Authority has been consulting with the industry for most of 2009, 2010, 2011 and it now appears that this will continue into 2012 before we will arrive at a series of new rules.
However, we are now also going to see European intervention and AMI will be fully involved in the debates in Brussels to ensure we have a sustainable intermediary market in the UK. AMI will continue to work alongside its European trade body partner BIPAR to promote the interest of the Intermediary. These are strong links forged over the last few years and we are ready to lead the debate on behalf of intermediaries across Europe.
This is what an effective trade body is there to do; to deliver a better business environment for its members. The AMI team continue to work with all the major lenders to ensure that an intermediary offering is still core to their approach. We work with the regulators to ensure that the rules allow intermediaries to continue to offer advice in a constructive way. We work with consumer groups to ensure that we are aware of the issues that are driving them and ensure appropriate solutions.
The route will remain challenging, but the AMI Board and team are ready for the task ahead.
Essential market intelligence for committed mortgage intermediaries
Mortgage Solutions has been serving the market since 1999.
There have been many changes over this time. Demand for information has increased. In response, Mortgage Solutions has not only broadened its subject reach but changed to a reactive, cutting edge multi-media offering fuelled by the breaking news and feature feed on the website.
We pride ourselves on taking the broadsheet position in the market through our tone and editorial integrity.
Mortgage Solutions also puts interactivity and reader response at the heart of its offering through both news and features, Twitter feeds and its Linked-in group.
As well as all of the latest news, product guides and features, Mortgage Solutions also produces a number of essential online supplements for its readers. These enable us to cover hot issues in-depth. The range includes buy-to-let, equity release, first-time buyers, self-employed borrowers, sales and advice technique, regulation & compliance, conveyancing, commercial mortgages and fraud..
While the brand has remained true to its initial brief in terms of support and ideas, it has expanded in line with the market and become recognised as the voice of the intermediary sector.
IFAonline's aim is to deliver the essential news and information financial intermediaries need to conduct their business, as it happens. Our strength is in the rapid analysis of key government and regulatory developments which affect the financial advice delivered to consumers, as well as the implications any reforms might have on IFAs and the wider financial services market.
IFAonline is targeted at general IFAs, but is supported by several titles covering specialist areas of the retail finance industry: Professional Adviser for investment, Cover for health insurance, Retirement Planner for pensions, International Investment for offshore and ETFM covering the burgeoning exchange-traded fund market.
The team strives to deliver news and analysis which is specialist and agenda-setting yet simple to understand - essentially harnessing the key facets applied to web journalism.
Not only has IFAonline become a ‘must-read' for financial advisers, but the team is constantly driving new ideas in content delivery to harness the development of technology.
We regularly receive and publish feedback from readers about the content and quality of our stories, as well as encouraging readers to talk to each other via the IFAonline discussion forum, and this may influence the type of stories or subjects we look at on a weekly basis.
IFAonline.co.uk won the headlinemoney.co.uk Best Financial Website for 2006 and 2007. It also won the 2005 PPA award for Best Interactive Business and Professional Magazine of the year and came highly commended in this same category in 2007. It was also shortlisted for three awards at the 2005 AOP awards - Best Editorial Team, Best Online Publisher, and Best Website.
