The FCA is reviewing how advisers and platforms handle bereaved customers, looking at service levels, fees and support offered.

In an exclusive interview with FT Adviser, Kate Tuckley, head of department, consumer investments at the FCA, said the regulator was looking at processes from end to end in this space to improve client outcomes.

The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues.
