Financial Advice and Financial Products: Law and Liability
Timed so as to coincide with the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 coming into force, which will markedly affect the regulatory regime, this book looks in detail at the extent to which financial advisors (whether institutional or independent) are liable to those whom they advise (and perhaps to others) for the accuracy and quality of their advice. In the wake of pension and endowment mortgage mis-selling, the Equitable Life case, and the continued concern about the role of commissions paid b

Pension Advice for A-Day !
Pension Advice for A-Day !
It has been claimed that A-Day is set to be the biggest shake-up that pensions in the UK have experienced in over 60 years but it has also left many wondering what A-Day is and what pension advice they will need to prepare for it. Below we take a closer look at A-Day and what it might mean for the average worker.
What is A-Day?
A-Day refers to the changes to the UK pensions which is set to occur in April this year.
What is the aim of A-Day?
The main idea behind A-Day is to “increase choice and flexibility for all”. The government’s broad aim in the introduction of the new pension rules in April 2006 is to simplify the existing pension rules. The rules will affect all pensions including personal and work pensions. In a nutshell, A-Day aims to take the pressure off agencies that need to give pension advice by actually simplifying the whole pension system.
What pension changes will occur with A-Day?
•The Standardisation of Tax Free Cash – The tax-free cash sum entitlement currently differs between Pension Schemes. Furthermore, the entitlement in the Occupational Pension Schemes can actually be less than 25%. The simplified pension rules will ensure that Tax Free Cash allowance of all Pension Schemes is set at 25% of the fund value as standard. If you have an occupational pension where the tax-free cash entitlement is higher than 25% then you will need to seek pension advice from an experienced Independent Financial Adviser, who will be able to help you protect this right.
•Alternatively Secured Pension – An Alternatively Secured Pension will also be introduced which will mean that after the age of 75 withdrawal of income will be known as “Alternatively Secured Pension” and will be similar to income drawdown. This allows you to draw an income, up to a maximum of 70% of the highest single-life annuity, each year from your pension fund.
•Greater Flexibility in Investment – There will also be greater flexibility in investment including the provision enabling you to hold residential property within your pension fund. You may also be able to sell and buy these properties between individuals.
•Contributions – The amount you can currently contribute into a pension scheme is capped but A-Day is set to change all this. As of April this year, there will be no maximum amount of pension saving.
Who will be affected by these pension changes?
Actually nearly everybody who will work or has worked will be affected by these pension simplification rules. It will impact on any individual who already has a pension in place or any individual who will start a pension plan at any point in the future.
Where is the best place to get pension advice regarding A-Day?
It is always highly advisable to discuss any pension advice you may require with a professionally trained financial adviser. It is also worth noting that you should always check that any financial adviser you speak to is registered with the FSA and is thereby duty bound to offer you unbiased advice.

Barclays Financial Planning Launches New Flexible Pensions
London, UK (PRWEB) December 13, 2008
Barclays Financial Planning has launched two new pensions products, designed to offer an effective retirement planning solution as an alternative to stakeholder pensions.
Both of the new offerings combine the traditional elements of a personal pension, with the addition of considerable investment flexibility, making them bespoke to individual clients’ needs. Clients can choose either a basic investment solution, comparable with a stakeholder pension, or the choice to diversify their pension assets, including the option of a ‘Select Choice’ fund proposition.
David Stuart, Director of Investment Advice and Products at Barclays Financial Planning (http://www.barclays.co.uk/financialplanning/financial-planning-home.html ) said: “We have launched our new pensions to offer the everyday pensions investor something much more flexible than a stakeholder plan, but without the more complicated structure or cost implications of a full Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). We offer the structure of a stakeholder pension with the option to place pensions assets in something more than a basic UK fund. In current market conditions retirement planning (http://www.barclays.co.uk/financialplanning/retirement-planning.html ) is still as important as ever, and we have seen clients wanting to look at alternative investments which would not be available in a basic stakeholder pension. This new product gives them that option.”
Barclays Financial Planning (http://www.barclays.co.uk/financialplanning/ ) provides access to fully qualified financial planners in any branch of Barclays Bank, who can advise individuals on the pension solution most suitable for their circumstances. As well as pensions advice (http://www.barclays.co.uk/financialplanning/saving-towards-retirement.html ), Barclays Financial Planning can give advice on all areas of financial services.
Notes to Editors:
The two new pensions products are offered through Barclays Financial Planning by AEGON Scottish Equitable and AXA. Key features for each plan can be supplied on request.
