The Stage | Carol Knight, CEO, TISA UK

Why It Matters

These shifts could reshape where household savings flow, boost long-term investment returns for consumers, and reduce pension shortfalls by improving financial literacy; clearer ISA and pension rules also have material implications for product providers and regulators. Widespread education and regulatory clarity are key to unlocking greater retail participation in capital markets and more resilient retirement outcomes.

Summary

Carol Knight, CEO of TISA (The Investing and Saving Alliance), says the trade body helps firms design savings and investment products and works with government and regulators to shape guidance and rules that improve customer outcomes. TISA is engaged on ISA regime reforms—particularly which assets qualify for stocks-and-shares ISAs—and is backing government efforts to shift savers from cash into investments to secure higher long-term returns. The organisation is also focused on pension changes and expanding financial education from primary school through adulthood to build investor literacy and appropriate risk-taking. Targeted support and clearer regulation are central to TISA’s strategy to broaden participation in capital markets and improve retirement readiness.
