Crash Gordon and the pensions of doom
I recently attended one of Skandia’s typically informative and useful roadshows. Among the presentations was one on retirement planning forhigh-earners, covering all the wearisome complexities of contributions for people earning over £100,000 a year and, dear, oh dear, isn’t it just so horrendously complicated? My head was starting to nod.
Levy implications
What are the wider implications if the basis on which the FSCS has reached its conclusion are correct? You need to read the FSCS statement to follow how I think their legal opinion led to their conclusions, namely that Keydata was not involved in “investment management” but in “investment intermediation”.
Commercial unraveller
Commercial I have a riposte for Alan Lakey (Letters, February 25).
Cause for complaint
I am sure that many of your readers share my frustrations and irritations with these so-called vulture funds. Our clients are ripped off and treated abominably. (No bonuses on WP, for example) and we are treated with a disregard and distain of truly biblical proportions.
