'FCA survey shows advisers are still seen as untrustworthy by general public'

This is worrying and shows that there is still some way to go until the wider general public see financial advisers as the trusted professionals they are.

That work is ongoing. Hopefully the next iteration of this survey will show more people viewing financial advisers in the same light and with the same high regard as their clients hold them in.
