Free the pensioners

We will have to modify our Client Investment risk questionnaire as it only goes up to "Very Upset". I am suprised that the FSA has not stepped in here and got the pensioners equited on the grounds that the Advisor failed to accurately assess the clients attitude to risk. I think this is going to lead to a boom in the sale of Bamboo, lead piping ( does not leave bruises) car batteries and electrodes.

the german regulator must be soft

If only the pensioners had resided in the uk, under the jurisdiction of the fsa and the tcf initiative. The IFA would be the one facing prison with the pensioners receiving compensation.

Thousands of IFAs open offices in Germany

In line with other commentators, what a refreshing story - to find there is a point where Client's behaviour can be deemed to be unreasonable to the level of unacceptable. I guess this was another one that ended in penalties!
