Offer of compensation

Some investors are getting offers from the distributor (financial institution) to compensate at 30% of the invested sum. They are given a deadline to accept the offer. If they do not accept, the offer expires and they get a rejection letter from the distributor.

They ask my views on whether to accept this offer. It is difficult for me to give this advice. My view is that a fair offer is 50% of the amount of loss (i.e. difference between the invested sum and the current market value).

Some investors feel that 50% is inadequate and wish to fight for a higher compensation. Other investors feel that they should accept the offer of 30%, as this is the best under the circumstances.

What is your view? Please reply to this survey:
