What exams do you need to become fsa CF30?
Brass Neck for taking such high commission on your money
gall in bucket loads for suggesting they can make your money
grow
cheek for trying to get you to change or should I say review
your portfolio which will of course result in you paying even more
money
shiny shoes, i-phone, tablet, notepad and a BMW or a Mercedes
which you are paying for - by portraying the flash persona they
think that will be attractive to investors when actually we think -
my money is paying for it
charm so you will sign the forms which guarantee the advisor a
fat commission and ongoing income and you are made to feel that you
are growing your wealth - wake up and smell the coffee, you are
growing their wealth.
If you have spare cash in large quantities, buy a large house in
a university city, split it up into nice bedsits and see an annual
return of 7 or 8 % year on year - and if the property market ever
really recovers you will get a decent capital growth.
As you can guess, I am not a fan of financial advisors, they
have cost me dearly over time, and I would have been better being
my own advisor.
