Almost half (46%) of Financial Planners expect to work remotely at least two days a week after the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Personal Finance Society, the 40,000-member professional body for Financial Planners, is to drop the role of CEO following the departure in June of current CEO Keith Richards.

A poll of Chartered Insurance Institute and Personal Finance Society members has revealed that the biggest barrier financial professionals face when trying to help consumers was being able to openly discuss vulnerability with them.

The Personal Finance Society has welcomed the extension of business support measures in Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget today but says more needs to be done to rebuild the resilience of individual savers who have been hammered by the pandemic.
