FSA hopes that inviting Internet writers to meetings with investors can help spread its message further than via traditional media.

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) has accused the nation's toshin investment funds of charging high fees, delivering poor returns and pushing investors from one trendy product to the next to generate fees.
