Description
The revised edition of this established introductory text looks at the UK financial services market from a number of different viewpoints, and in particular from the perspectives of consumers of financial services and products, the suppliers of those services and products and the regulators who establish the framework within which the products and services are bought and sold.
The clear and logical structure of this book begins by describing a range of financial services and products such as insurance policies, bank accounts and pensions. The following four sections describe and explain the markets in which those products are traded, the organizations involved, and the economic and legal backgrounds which contribute to determining how the market operates.
Set reading for those studying the Financial Services Environment module from the Diploma in Financial Services Management, this text will also prove extremely useful as an introductory reference for many students embarking on any course relating to financial services and their regulation.
