Vulnerable clients

Any investment into our products should be via a financial adviser. The financial adviser is responsible for accessing any client vulnerabilities. Careful consideration of any conclusions which could have a bearing on vulnerable clients should be made reviewing the Target Market guide and any findings acted upon.
