Apathy rules
6 Oct 2005
To be truthful, I was just a little disappointed with last week's IFA Events roadshow. The venue was great. The exhibition space was packed to the gunnels with as high a quality of contributors as you could hope for but was it my imagination or was it slightly less busy than last year? Perhaps it was the fault of the acoustics in the room in which the Investment Question Time panel session took place but the audience seemed strangely reluctant to come forward with their views.

6 Oct 2005
Global market expertise is a key driver for manager selection in multi-manager portfolios. For the discerning adviser the overwhelming focus on quantitative and qualitative manager screening techniques can be misleading to the extent that it masks weakness in the original and most important fundamentals of this investment risk management strategy.

Opportunity knocks
6 Oct 2005
The changes to the rules governing pensions, due to come into force in April 2006 on A-Day, offers a golden opportunity for the IFA industry, as a whole, to take advantage of this unique opportunity to generate new business. However, the industry must react positively to these changes and ensure that it is ready to deal with this new challenge. Too often in the past, marketing opportunities such as this have been missed and the benefits to IFAs lost.

It would appear that anyone else who felt they might like to put their oar in was also asked to comment.

Sipp sliding away
6 Oct 2005
The Sipp situation is rapidly descending into farce. The cowboys are jumping on the bandwagon, sensing rich pickings in promoting dubious schemes to investors who will probably live to rue the day they ever thought putting property into a Sipp was a good idea, let alone collections of banjos, swords or antique clocks.
