Financial Advisors

Folk need to remember that IFA's are effectively Salesman - not like a profession where need to take 3 years to complete professional exams. Back in the day carpenters/joiners could be let loose after 1 months training - my uncle moved across from agricultural sales to being an IFA. I notice quite a few people who i used to work with in RBS (not the sharpest tools in the box, and didn't complete their Chartered Banking Qualification ), now that they have been made redundant, have moved across to "Wealth Management" I'm now fighting with my offshore advisers who are telling me they need to charge me a discretionary fee (0.75% or 1% or something) when it's me that tells them exactly what to do, and they effectively act on an execution basis only & already got their commission up front 3 years ago -

guess it's an aberdeenshire thing normally my mother (she's 82 ) gets following arriving un-anounced Friends Family Salesmen Typically all of who will get offered lunch/dinner if they arrive around that time (had to share my food back in the day) Lorry drivers as well who are dropping off loads, will also get offered tea/biscuits lunch/soup I rock up without phoning - I only phone relatives to make sure they are not out -

I can't work out who are all trolling, given the amount of ridiculous posts there are seem's some people are happy that people lied like kunt's as long as the result aligned with what they wanted -

no need to respect it - don't respect anyone who lies to me, and will not honour any contracts which are built on lies/fraud/deception -

Pension Advice Required
euan2020 replied to Flora MaDonald's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
just be cautious on what your expectations are - if you are expecting to live to a ripe old age, likely the defined benefit is better + if you have surviving spouse who would pick up say 50% of remaining yearly pension entitlement (+ defined benefit will pay out a lump sum as well, and start paying out early if you wish, at a lower pay out) Private Pension will allow you to be invested after taking out the lup sum if you want to , so still invested to grow next 20-30 years - Think this is called a living pension, rather than moving to conservative funds/treasury/cash etc - Obviously Private Pension pot can be inherited (As a pension to keep away from tax ) -
Pension Advice Required
euan2020 replied to Flora MaDonald's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
you would need to be cautious on what your investment strategy is - if this is a short timeline until you are 55 - balls out equity or more conservative Although - People are starting to consider their Pension as a living investment in that still allows or growth after you retire - worthy of taking look at 20-30 historical timeline, to see if want to participate in the ups and downs of the market -

Suing a Public Body
euan2020 replied to daviebee's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
Frank Lefevre in the early 90's was pioneer of no win no fee - I recall seeing what their commission was from one of the helicopter crashes were in the early 90's https://www.quantumclaims.com/about-us/history/ Pretty sure that Public Bodies self insure, and will have a budget, to avoid legal fees -
motivated by self interest, with no consideration for other's willing to act to the obvious disadvantage of other's as long as "I'm alright" Or have a "what's in it for me " attitude now coming from a farming background, I think farmers are some of the biggest kent's and vote conservative and have this attitude - being from that background, well qualified, good pay I guess lot of folk think that i should be conservative but i am not I've had conversations with farmers who due to their bias were quite happy that the EU subsidies due to Scotland hill farmers, were passed out to English farmers "nae caring - would only be a small amount per acre" https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-49362698
