Led by Fiscal Engineers, on behalf of the Institute of Financial Planners, we have joined together in an uphill task to reverse the growing view that financial advisers and planners cannot be trusted.

We know that in an environment in which there is a savings gap, when people are not making preparation for their retirement and long-term care, the only way of reversing this is by rebuilding trust between client and adviser.

We ask that you give your full support to this campaign which we intend to run until the introduction of the retail distribution review.
