Campaigners opposing the deregistration of the 40,000 member Personal Finance Society (PFS) have sent a letter to Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) CEO Sian Fisher pushing for AGM voting numbers to be published on the CII website this week.

Nearly 7,000 UK financial advisers have reached Chartered Financial Planner status 15 years after the designation was launched, according to the latest figures from the PFS.

Wealth manager and employee benefits firm Mattioli Woods has acquired Glasgow-based Chartered Financial Planner firm The Turris Partnership Limited in a deal worth up to £1.6m.
