Abstract

The Financial Services Authority's review of With Profits policies has been motivated by a perception that consumer understanding of these products is insufficiently developed. This paper suggests that these concerns have not so much been overstated as misguided. With profits policies are complicated but consumers don't need to understand them.Â
