Platforms aren't perfect, but don't take them for granted

Perhaps the FCA will also look at how the industry can be encouraged to collaborate more so as to keep fraudsters at bay and investors’ money secure.  Consumers are bound to value this too. 

So I am all for having a market study of platforms, with the clear aim of ultimately benefiting the client. Surely it’s about ensuring the client obtains good value for whatever price they pay.
