Savings and investments form part of the central nervous system of a developed economy. The health of that system influences the behaviour and well-being of citizens and companies alike. The findings of this inquiry represent a vision of a better investment system, developed by those who work in it.

In 2004 Tomorrow's company published a report on what robust  and responsible financial services would look like after comprehensive research and consultation with hundreds of proffessionals working in the city. Restoring Trust has been validated by the financial crisis of 2008 and is still a useful document to provide clear goals.  In many ways, the challenges facing today's policy makers is to get to the system which Restoring Trust sets out. The inquiry is in essence an industry self portrait.  It is based on interviews and workshops conducted with over 500 people drawn from every aspect of the investment chain.  In formulating our proposals we have taken account of a number of government inquiries, industry reviews, trade body and company initiatives.
