Despite the rise of technology the overwhelming majority of adults (75%) would prefer face to face engagement with a financial adviser, research has found.  

Low cost fund manager Vanguard is mulling plans to enter the UK financial advice market and, at the same time, boosting its team working with advisers and engaging direct with consumers.

Financial Planning-based adviser and pension benefits company LEBC has unveiled what it calls a ‘Bionic Advice’ service designed to make financial advice more widely available and more affordable.

A new survey has found that  34% of advised clients become less cautious about investment risk following a discussion with their adviser, compared to just 16% who become more cautious.
