But Holly Mackay, chief executive of Boring Money, says while the introduction of the labels is a positive thing, alone, they are not going to be enough.
Mackay says: “Fund managers are still going to have to do some heavy lifting in terms of communications...because people don't understand this space.
“And because scepticism is really high, consumers want some sort of independent validation that it does what it says on the tin. I think these [labels] will be positive. I just think they're going to take a long time to become part of the [thinking of] the retail investor.”
