I have found it puzzling why the FSA does not put pressure on the regulated entity to compensate in full or face the prospect of having their FSA permission to continue to conduct business taken away. Even though it is likely the professional indemnity insurance costs for independent financial advisors will increase, I think this is excellent news for the consumer.rnrnThis information is intended to provide a general review of certain topics and its purpose is to inform but not to recommend or support any specific investment or course of action.
