I never thought I’d see former professional footballers march through central London to protest about financial scams and poor regulation but that’s exactly what happened this week.

It’s been a bad week for some adviser firms with no fewer than seven being declared as failed or under investigation by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

I have to confess I was quite pleased this week when Aegon pension sage Steven Cameron raised an issue that many have neglected: the fairness of the State Pension.

It was good to see a new Financial Planning initiative this week to reach the so-called TikTok generation.
