The AMF emphasized its commitment to investor protection by issuing a guide with standardized commission terminology for financial professionals. This initiative is part of a broader effort to provide educational resources and tools aimed at helping retail investors understand the costs associated with trading and financial products.
“Investor protection is our top priority. Clear, detailed, and accurate information on fees is essential for investors to compare and make informed choices, particularly in inflation,” stated AMF Chairwoman Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani. The guide is seen as a significant step in aiding retail investors in making more informed decisions.
A recent survey conducted by the AMF revealed that more than half of French retail investors find it challenging to evaluate the impact of fees on their investment returns. Recognizing the potential influence of fees on investment outcomes, the AMF aims to address this issue by providing standardized commission terminology to enhance clarity and transparency.
Moreover, as individual investor participation rises in France, with over 1.5 million active investors in 2022, the AMF is keen on addressing challenges faced by investors in understanding fee-related information. The market witnessed the entrance of nearly 195,000 new investors last year, indicating a growing interest in investing among the French public.
