  • MarkG: 

    I'm having difficulty seeing a situation in the real world where the small cost of transferring funds, to the best funds available in the market, according to an IFA's detailed research, would disadvantage a client enough for the FSA to publicise it.

    Perhaps someone could enlighten me?
