The FSCS Levy Action Group is asking for your help

This week the IFA community and other investment intermediaries are paying a whopping £60m bill to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) to bail out investors in failed fund managers and stockbrokers.

IFAs need a fairer FSCS.

Today, the FSCS Levy Action Group is asking for help from Financial Secretary to the Treasury Mark Hoban MP. Please take part in this day of action and help by spreading the word to every IFA you know.

1. Take a look at who's signed the petition so far and add your name
http://www.fscslevyactiongroup.co.uk/action/

2. If you are on Twitter, encourage others to sign too and add the tag #HelpUsHoban

Please do it right now. Thank you.

Kind regards.
