As the Chair of AMPS, I dread the day that the Financial Ombudsman Service complaints data is published.

The end of the tax year is traditionally a really busy time for adviser and SIPP providers.

The beginning of February saw the FCA issue a discussion paper DP18/1: Effective competition in non-workplace pensions. Within the discussion paper, the FCA estimates that non-workplace pensions amount to around £400bn in AUM, double the amount invested in DC pensions schemes.

Protecting consumers from unscrupulous scammers and conmen has been a priority for the financial services industry for some time.
