Poor advice or negligence by a Financial Advisor or Financial Broker?

You may have required the services of a financial advisor, such as an independent financial advisor (IFA), a Bank, or insurance broker. You may have relied on their advice to make financial investments such as pensions and ISA’s. They are regulated by the Financial Services Authority and bound by a code of conduct, which includes to generally treat customers fairly. They are under a duty to properly investigate your financial needs and recommend financial products that are appropriate for your situation and after consideration of your appetite for risk.

Financial advisors can fail to properly consider many of these things and when this happens and you suffer a financial loss on your investment as a result, you may be entitled to claim for your losses.

Examples of Financial Advisors’ and Financial Brokers’ negligence includes:

• You were sold an investment without having been properly advised of the risks
• Your personal circumstances or attitude to risk wasn’t properly considered
• You were sold a SIPP or poor returning annuity
• You were advised to invest all or most of your savings into a single investment
• You were advised to unnecessarily transfer a pension
• You were sold a property fund investment
• Your pension is worth little more or less than the contributions you paid into it
• You were sold a guaranteed investment plan/bond and although received your money back, you have lost years of interest
