I’m not a fan of crypto investing. It’s possibly one of the nastiest and least useful new investment sectors of the last 10 years, if you can call it an investment sector.

Amid all the gloomy news this week there was a chink of light for Financial Planners, at least on the potential new business front.

As the Bank Holiday nears (at least officially in England, Wales and Northern Ireland), I was intrigued by a story we ran this week revealing that financial services and insurance workers are taking 5% fewer days holiday than they are entitled to.

These are grim times for platforms, hit by runaway ’trains’ coming from all sides.
