Financial watchdog to review pure protection insurance market
Briefly

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is set to launch a study into the UK's pure protection insurance market due to concerns about competition and product value.
The FCA's concerns center around commission arrangements that may hinder firms from providing good outcomes for policyholders, particularly regarding product design.

The FCA's examination will focus on key types of insurance including term assurance and income protection, ensuring that they offer true value to consumers.
