Constant paradox with FAs I think - if they were any good they would be making a stack load of cash for themselves and wouldn't need to "advise". Ergo, they're not very good (and on commission) so you might as well make the financial decisions yourself.

If you transfer them out to another provider, the greedy fookers grab about 30% of you pot, if you leave them, they grow fook all.

Too restrictive and too many greedy fookers (like Brown) wanting their slice.Comment
