TISA responds to Scottish Referendum Result
The Scottish people have chosen to stay in the United Kingdom which means that the millions of people with ISAs and pensions and other savings with financial services companies both sides of the border now no longer need to be concerned about the security of their investments.
The industry and consumer groups which have formed The Savings & Investments Policy project (TSIP) under the auspices of TISA can now continue to work together with regulators and political parties to deliver an effective long-term savings and investment policy which will meet people’s needs and aspirations for the future.

Notes for Editors
TISA is a not-for-profit membership association operating within the financial services industry. We represent the interests of over 145 member firms involved in the supply and distribution of savings and investment products and services.
TISA has a highly successful track record in working cooperatively with government, regulators, HMT, DWP and HMRC to improve the performance of the industry and the outcomes for consumers.
Policy and regulation continues to be the major focus for our members with regard to corporate responsibility.
TISA and its members’ remit is evolving into a clearer focus on pro-active consultation in the regulatory world in order to influence policy and associated regulation before its creation, rather than reacting to issued policy directives. This will help to ensure a more considered policy creation from the authorities.
