'Nature of retirement and later life advice is at a tipping point'
In Focus: Vulnerability
The Financial Conduct Authority expects all financial services providers to be mindful of a client's potential vulnerability.
But what does 'vulnerability' mean in a financial context? It could include: clients in later life; clients going through a divorce or becoming parents; clients losing their jobs, or suffering mental or physical ill health; and people facing financial difficulties after falling victim to fraud.

This hub from FTAdviser will focus on all of these topics and more over the coming weeks, providing a rich seam of content and highlighting the myriad issues around vulnerability.
