Protection

One in 10 working Britons fear their jobs are in imminent danger but over a third have little or no savings to tide them through emergencies, according to Prudential.

The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) will remove significant obstacles for IFAs wishing to give advice to clients who live in other member states.

Almost being dragged into the sea while racing with Skandia at Cowes Week - I was hauling in the spinnaker at the time - should have made me think I ought to have some sort of financial protection.

Providers have hit back at claims many intermediaries are not considering pension term assurance (PTA) as an option for their clients.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the British Medical Association (BMA) have agreed a five-year deal over the quality of reports prepared by GPs for insurers and patients.

Consumers have a 'worrying' lack of understanding around the critical illness (CI) application process, according to a survey by Scottish Equitable Protect.

People who have saved all their lives should not be penalised by paying more for long term care (LTC) than those who have not, according to several IFAs.

Protection intermediaries do not think they should move to a trail commission model, despite calls to do so from several industry spokespeople.

Members of the Association of British Insurers have until December 2007 to adopt standard case studies into their private medical insurance leaflets.

Moving to a trail commission model sounds good in principle but making the transition from full upfront payments could be costly for protection intermediaries.
