    Pimfa: Why simplified advice needs to feature in FCA handbook

    There is no scope to water down advice but if the industry wants to be able to serve the 15mn people who need advice but don't get it, change is needed, says Simon Harrington. The head of public affairs at the adviser trade body says what is currently possible is rooted in 'handbook guidance', rather than the handbook itself, which makes it risky for advisers to experiment with simpler models. To find out how exactly Pimfa's simplified advice would work, and what are the chances of pushing it through the legislative and regulatory bodies, tune in to this week's FTAdviser In Focus podcast. The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.

    IFAs taking same approach to male and female clients 'is regressive'

    In this FTAdviser podcast, we talk about something which is often covered, but perhaps from the wrong lens. And that’s how financial advisers - the majority of which are male - should be communicating with the women they manage wealth on behalf of. We ask: - How advisers should or shouldn't be talking to female clients - Is having the same approach for male and female clients regressive or progressive? - What is the current state of play in the advice industry today when it comes to gender equality? What has got better? What is still the same? and how does this seep into the advice given? The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.

    Going beyond the call of duty

    On this episode of the FTAdviser In Focus podcast we discuss whether advisers should go beyond the call of duty. Many financial advisers see it as their duty to "give back" to society and help educate the general public on financial matters, but the space is far from saturated. So should more advisers think about running regular podcasts or writing newsletters or even books? Advisers Warren Shute and Craig Palfrey share their views, alongside the CISI's deputy head of financial planning, Chris Morris. The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.
