Consultation: Proposed exemptions for advice on UK law aspects of defined benefit pension transfers

We are seeking feedback on proposed exemptions for UK financial advice firms from certain requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, so they can provide financial advice to clients in New Zealand on the UK law aspects of transferring funds in a UK pension scheme with safeguarded benefits (defined benefits) to a New Zealand qualified registered overseas pension scheme (QROPS).  

We welcome your feedback on the exemption proposal in response to the specific questions in this paper, as well as any other general comments. Please provide feedback using the submission form above.
