I'm surprised to read negative comments, do people not do research? Putting her past "conquests" aside, What isn't to like? The fact she is involved in wealth management will have absolutely nothing to do with it i'm sure....... SCM Direct - About us- - - - - - - - From her About me page on LinkedIn About People say I am a passionate person with a feisty tone of voice. This is because I love what I do, and do what I believe is right. I am not afraid to speak out when I confront intellectually or morally bankrupt arguments, and have an independent mind-set.
To date I have started 7 innovative brands which have all interrogated accepted industry norms with the goal of delivering better outcomes for customers by incorporating simplicity, common sense, transparency.
I embrace the values of conscious capitalism. and believe in sharing success and helping those less fortunate or drowning in the consequences of their lives. All the businesses I have started operate with a 'profit for purpose' model where a significant percentage of profits and resources are given to charities or community projects. My mantra is that generosity can heal communities and that we can all make a difference.

There's no doubt that FCA regulation gave financial firms and products an air of integrity as did the p2p ISA - the IFISA. Without it, I thought, you may as well "invest" your cash with a man down the pub.
I knew the difference between FCA regulation and FSCS protected so I knew many of the p2p firms that failed didn't have a financial backstop - I thought more of them as I would stocks and shares. Specifically in p2p, I thought my main risk was a general economic downturn or property market downturn. I thought the FCA regulation pretty much guaranteed the p2p company itself (the "platform" as its known) would be run properly and be extremity unlikely to fail let alone defraud me. I viewed it similarly as I do my stock broker - the stocks my broker manages might collapse but the broker itself, I thought, should be so well run and checked that failure was very unlikely.
How wrong was I. I have lost many, many tens of thousands of pounds that I have saved up over my working life in failed p2p companies. One of them (Collateral) was listed by the FCA as being regulated but it wasn't ! Others have outright defrauded me. That's right, the directors of another failed company took my money, completely made up a borrower and house I was supposedly lending on and just pocketed the cash.
The truth is still coming out but how did the FCA allow these mickey mouse operations to exist without thorough and ongoing checks? How could they allow the integrity of their register to be compromised - that is the very place people go to check if a company is registered or not - although as we now know, it doesn't mean much even if they are.
And we in the UK consider financial services to be one of our major strengths? God help us.

What appalls me is the gravy train for 'administrators' who appear to have carte blanche to mop up any remaining funds. Lessons have been learned. In future,buy gold (if you have anything left after this carnival).

... How could they allow the integrity of their register to be compromised .... I know that was a rhetorical question but I think it worth stressing that the 'fault' with the IP register was open for everybody with an FCA approval to exploit. There was nothing clever that was exploited in the case of Col, just go into the IP (Interim Permissions) register and change the details. Now you might think that changes made would be automatically 'flagged', no. There was no way the FCA could know that changes had been made. What is also inexcusable is that no basic checks were made when Part 4A applications were made (application for Full Approval) they were 'taken on trust', one check would have shown up the incorrect entry and Col would have been stopped in their tracks, before we even saw the site. But no, it took 2 years of unbelievable discussions between the FCA and the Col Directors/Advisors before somebody decided to check Companies House ..... and then when it was discovered that Col was trading without permissions the FCA hid it from investors allowing us to invest a further £3.8m. Andrew Bailey was in charge for the whole of this period and the best he has managed so far is a mumbled 'biggest regret' when questioned by the Treasury Committee on Col.

perhaps we could have had a "very humble" and a flanning, but no Murdoch got that.

More skeletons found in Andrew Bailey's cupboards. The damage he has caused to thousands of innocent people, yet as always protected by the old boys network by promoting him up to the head of the bank of england. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56395534
