In readiness for the release of a host of new features, we’re writing to inform you about a scheduled maintenance window affecting access to ATEB Suitability.
It has been almost 2 years since we launched our Ex-Ante/Ex-Post Costs and Charges Statement template, designed to assist firms in meeting their disclosure requirements under MiFID II. Since then we have observed how the industry has adapted to provide customers with this information and we have taken the opportunity to refresh our template to meet changing needs.
This upgrade includes:
- The separation of the ‘Ex-Ante’ & ‘Ex-Post’ statement functionality into their own standalone templates;
- The refactoring of the ‘Ex-Post’ statement to aggregate all of a customer’s charges across their entire portfolio into one document;
- The consolidation of the ‘Continued Suitability Review’ and ‘Periodic Suitability Review’ templates into a single template;
- The ability to generate an ‘Ex-Post’ costs and charges statement from within the ‘Periodic Suitability Review’ template;
- The addition of multi-currency support across all templates;
- A new Content Integration from Synaptic;
- much more…
Full details of the changes will be provided in our release note to be issued on Tuesday 6th April 2021 via email and here on the ATEB News website.

FCS Transitional Arrangements
Steve Bailey Compliance Update
As you will be aware the Financial Services Authority ceased to be and the Financial Conduct Authority took over the regulation of financial advice firms on 01 April 2013.
The FSA issued PS13/05 last week which includes updated rules and transition arrangements. The policy statement itself is 88 pages but the ‘appendix (3)’ that accompanies it is a mere 1990 pages so you must excuse us for not as yet absorbing every word. The document can be seen here.
