Thanks to Gabrielle de Pauw for the caption and photo of the FSA AGM

Equitable had little effective scrutiny and was "a self-perpetuating oligarchy amenable to policyholder pressure only at its discretion".

Penrose Report 8 March 2004

The Equitable Life Members Support Group is not authorised to give individual financial advice. This web site attempts to point policyholders towards sources of information. We cannot take responsibility for any incorrect information given there. All information provided on this website is in good faith and has been checked as far as possible as to its correctness. We sometimes point to reports and letters written by individual policyholders, this does not mean that we are necessarily in agreement with what is written, but this allows for debate on the subject.
