Titoli, fondi, polizze, consulenza finanziaria, gestione del risparmio: quando si investe, possono emergere dubbi, incomprensioni o vere e proprie controversie con banche, Sim, società di gestione o altri intermediari. In questi casi non è necessario affrontare subito un giudizio: esiste uno strumento pensato per tutelare i risparmiatori, l’Arbitro per le Controversie Finanziarie (Acf) istituito presso la Consob.

Barbuzzi (Presidente Acf), l’Avv. Letizia Vescovini (esperta di diritto bancario e degli intermediari finanziari) e Antonio Criscione (Giornalista di Plus24)
