T. Rowe Price

Consumer Duty


At T. Rowe Price we are committed to ensuring that the Consumer Duty Principle is embedded throughout our firm, and that we supply distributors of our products with all the requisite information.

We have therefore established a cross-departmental programme to ensure that we implement the regulatory requirements within the stated timeframes. The programme is overseen by our usual governance management arrangements, a steering committee, the firm’s Consumer Duty champions and the Board of the relevant UK entities.
 

We have aligned our work with the Four Outcomes enshrined within the Consumer Duty principle as follows:

Products & Services: We have reviewed our product governance arrangements, including our product approval and review process to strengthen our processes and ensure our product governance is robust.

Price & Value: We carried out a value assessment of all T. Rowe Price OEIC and SICAV sub-funds sold via intermediaries to UK retail customers.

Consumer Understanding: We have partnered with a market research and consultancy agency, Research in Finance, to create a communications review community with some major asset manager peers to test various consumer facing marketing and communication literature to enhance it as necessary and ensure suitability for all consumers.

Consumer Support: While T. Rowe Price does not interact directly with retail customers, we will deal with reasonable requests from you in an effective way and in good time to enable you to support retail customers.
