I suspect there were some gasps this week when the Financial Services Compensation Scheme announced that its annual levy would fall by a whopping £150m from a predicted £415m to £265m for the 2024/25 funding year.

There was some shock this week when the FCA announced that it was charging nine social media influencers, including some reality TV stars, in connection with promotion of an unauthorised investment trading scheme.

The Pensions Dashboards have been hugely delayed, already cost millions in development costs, are years behind schedule and many have written them off as a disaster.

I’m beginning to think that the self employed are the poor relations when it comes to the pensions market.
