FRAUD NOTICE:

The single most important retirement question faced by most British retirement savers boils down to what they should do with their pension. Yet for British nationals living in the United States this decision is likely to be even more profoundly important. Not only must they grapple with the usual questions regarding a potential pension transfer or drawdown, they must also consider the complexities inherent in their cross-border situation. All in all, the stakes are high and, in these circumstances, planning and advice are everything.

The antitrust lawsuit against the merger of investment brokers Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade has been dismissed by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

However, the decision is unlikely to be the end of the matter as the dismissal was made on procedural grounds with the court ruling that the plaintiff, BlackCrown Inc., is a corporate entity and therefore cannot represent itself. The judge cited the 1993 case of Rowland v. California Men’s Colony and the 1997 decision reached in Pridgen v. Anresen as forming the basis for the court’s decision.
