What you are going through

Suitability is the key test

Financial advisers must ensure recommendations match your risk tolerance, objectives, and circumstances. Unsuitable advice — however well-intentioned — may be negligent.

Losses can be substantial

Pension transfers into unsuitable schemes, high-risk unregulated investments, or excessive exposure to a single asset class can wipe out years of savings.

The advice file is crucial

Your fact-find, risk assessment, suitability report, and signed documents tell the story of what was recommended and whether it was appropriate.

FCA regulation protects you

FCA-regulated advisers and firms must carry professional indemnity insurance. The FSCS also provides a safety net if the firm has failed.
