COLOMBO // Sri Lankan authorities have introduced a Park and Ride scheme to reduce congestion on the roads of the capital, Colombo. Many people live outside the capital but drive into the city every day for work. Commuters who use the Galle Road can now park at the city of Moratuwa, 45 minutes from Colombo, and take luxury buses the rest of the way. There are now plans in place to add the scheme to three other roads that feed into the city. The government also plans to keep the price of diesel fuel under control to encourage the operation of diesel-powered public buses.

Have you been targeted?
Tuan Phan of SimplyFI.org lists five signs you have been mis-sold to:
1. Your pension fund has been placed inside an offshore insurance wrapper with a hefty upfront commission.
2. The money has been transferred into a structured note. These products have high upfront, recurring commission and should never be in a pension account.
3. You have also been sold investment funds with an upfront initial charge of around 5 per cent. ETFs, for example, have no upfront charges.
4. The adviser charges a 1 per cent charge for managing your assets. They are being paid for doing nothing. They have already claimed massive amounts in hidden upfront commission.
5. Total annual management cost for your pension account is 2 per cent or more, including platform, underlying fund and advice charges.
