HEAD OF LISTED EQUITIES AND ESG

BRIGHTER SUPER
Brighter Super head of listed equities and ESG Fiona Mann was shaped by a childhood steeped in military-like discipline and global nomadism. Andrew McKean writes.
It appears that the unions and industry funds have a lineup out the door of Solicitorsand board members intent on tearing apart any attempt to promote a fairer system to both the advisor and client.

By it very nature, the "catch all" clause will only work retrospectively. Hindsight turns possibilities, even remote ones, into events that everyone knew were coming.
We work in a field with plenty of risks as it is. With FOS offering a no cost complaints mechanism and escalating its fees for advisers who wont pay go away money - the "catch all" clause is an invitation to rogues and their lawyers.
As with "opt in", its supporters have a commercial objective - but dress up their campaigns as consumer protection.
