Report of the UK Financial Services Authority on the Review of Equitable Life Assurance Society from 1 January 1999 to 8 December 2000

This report was published on 16 October 2001 and has received wide comment and scrutiny in the UK. It is but the first in what will be a series of reports and inquiries of one kind and another into the events that lead up to the closure to new business on 8 December 2000 of the with-profits fund of the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
