Description
**** Contract awarded **** Requirement: NSANDI needs to understand how it and its products fit among those of its competitors within consumers savings and investment portfolios as well as show how consumer behaviour is changing over time with regards to their finances. NSANDI is mainly focused on savings but we have a need to understand high level penetration of investments as part of consumers portfolio. NSANDI is looking to subscribe to a robust, large scale continuous quantitative monthly survey that is representative of the UK or GB adult population (including representing consumers that are not online) which gives robust understanding of the savings and investment market amongst UK or GB adults. The survey needs to be an established survey as access to back data and trends is required. This contract was awarded following a formal market engagement exercise in 2023, via the CCS Research and Insights RM6126 framework.
