Mr Hargreaves gets angereee...

'Product providers have got away for far too long with producing crap products which didn't do what they said on the tin. Then it was we the retailers who got sued'.

'We have seen too much of this in our industry. Split-capital investment trusts, precipice funds and most recently AIG's cash funds and almost everyone has got away with it. What today says is that if you're producing crap products, we'll come and smack you.'

    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
