The CSFI is a forum for well-informed debate and research about the future of the financial services sector.

We do this through a range of activities: written research, live discussion groups and networks, all focused on the latest developments in international finance. Our work is objective, topical and practitioner-oriented. It is driven by a belief in the value of free markets, and of open discussion.

The Centre's activities are supported by sponsorship from leading institutions in banking, insurance, investment, government, technology and the professions. It is run from London, but its range is global.

NEW! Academic Expert Directory

The Academic Expert Directory is a new online platform that will give City practitioners access to experts throughout the UK (and beyond). Academics/Experts are encouraged to register and create a profile on the site, which can then be easily searched by practitioners looking for expertise. We are in the process of rolling out the new website and are encouraging people to take a look at the site, create a profile and provide us with feedback. Please let us know what you think of the website and pass the link along to any interested colleagues.

Young People and Financial Services survey

This survey of 18-25 year old British adults intends to find out how younger people approach personal finance. How do they feel about banks, do they worry about long-term savings, pensions etc? We would be very grateful if you could give us ten minutes of your time to fill in our survey. The CSFI intends to publish a report on the basis of the findings, and your answers will remain confidential.
