Regulated Retail Investment Adviser Re-evaluation (RAR)
As part of the drive towards raising the standards and competence of financial advisers, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) approached the CII to create a re-evaluation test of the knowledge required to practice as a retail investment adviser.
The level 4 Diploma became the standard when the Retail Distribution Review came into force at the start of 2013. Advisers complete a minimum of 35 hours continuous professional development each year with the aim of maintaining and updating their knowledge. Only a few firms test their advisers' knowledge yearly as part of their Statement of Professional Standing. We believe that advisers having a good level of knowledge is the foundation to giving sound financial advice.
