Banks' Sales of Their Own Funds

The regulator highlights significant economic incentives and conflicts of interest driving this practice, while clarifying that banks must disclose non-independent advice and prioritize client interests. The document provides specific guidance for investors to mitigate risks by comparing costs, exploring external alternatives, and considering independent financial advice.
