PanaceaIFA.com RDR ‘Question Time’ – Your “Burning” Question Please

It is really encouraging to see that so many IFAs have already registered for this special event organized by Panacea.com and hosted by M&G Investments on Monday 7 March.

We appreciate that with more than 3,000 Panacea.com members spread across the UK it will not be possible for all of you to be there and pose any questions you may have.  However, we would like to give you the opportunity to ask a question to the panel of financial services experts who will be participating in the RDR ‘Question Time’.

The event will be split into two sessions.  The first session will be with the following financial services experts:

Garry Heath, former director general of the IFA Association

Graeme Abell, M&G’s Director of Nationals and Networks

Sarah Thwaites, deputy CEO of The Financial Skills Partnership (formerly Financial Services Skills Council) 

David Ferguson, CEO of Nucleus

Gareth Fatchett, Partner of Regulatory Legal

The second session will be with Mark Garnier MP for the Wyre Valley and members of the  House of Commons Treasury Select Committee.

Whether you are attending or are unable to attend, we would like to give you an opportunity to submit a question in advance to either the panellists or Mark Garnier.  We will then collate them by subject, issue or concerns and the chair, Derek Bradley, ceo of Panacea.com, will ask as many questions as possible from those questions received along with questions from the audience on the day.

If you would like to ask a question, please send it to james@panaceaadviser.com with the following details:

Your Name (first and surname please)

Name of the IFA firm you represent
