Again...the forces pension society will give the precise answer.

Thank you for an interesting and informative post. I had not heard of the CFEB (or more likely, I have read it about, but not hoisted it on board) and I had a quick scan of the web site and its offshoots and it seems to be a good initative. I am very much in favour of any idea which empowers individuals where finances are concerned, especially those that bring real transparency to the proceedings. By the way, I remember the resettlement "seedy" sales pitch and I concur. I'm not a fan of the other organisation which often pitches up to give financial advice either....always found it a bit half cocked.
I do have a bit of an axe to grind with the IFA profession however...
Too often I find them to be not IFA's, but IFPA's (Independant Financial Products Advisors). Pensions, for example, are touted with religious zeal, when they are only one of many ways to provide an income in retirement. And don't get me started on insurance!
Best independant financial advisor I have found so far is this chap...

Never met him though.
