Please note that this data is based on firms who submit pure protection contracts Product Sales data (PSD) and does not include all data on transactions made through nominee accounts (such as those used in platforms). Differences may be possible between this dataset and information previously provided or published on the FCA website. Figures based on the type of firm may not be comparable between previously published PSD data, for example, due to firms resubmitting data and data preparation methods. PSD only captures new sales, and transfers, top-ups, alterations, increments and renewals are generally not included. The 'other' category is not published every year. We have only provided data for which we have the complete period.
