"Pension Loss Calculation-
Improve Your Game" |
|
|
Wider
Principles
- Pension loss is a
head of future pecuniary
loss like any other

in approaching risk assessment
in CFA’s. At first
sight it appears impossible
to help on a matter where
the issues are as diverse
as the very number of individual
cases. There has been no
hard evidence available
of previous success or failure
in assessment so as to consider
the risk in any scientific
fashion. For, the take up
on CFA’s has been
low until the recent abolition
