“So Impressive on Paper”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 25/10/2012

I transferred my pension to them in 2009 during the financial crisis. Their promise was to protect my investment with a primary goal of out-performing cash in the bank. Not a difficult goal you might think given the dropping interest rates. However, 3 years later my pension fund is worth 25% less than when I started.
Key strengths: Active rather than passive management. Access to account online. Nice people.
Key weaknesses: They bet on a major market collapse. No hedge strategy and no exposure to equity rallies. After 3 years they are currently 60/40 risk on with no hope of recovering from the losses in the short-medium term. Also infuriating is that they keep large amounts of fund in cash for extended periods and charge a management fee for doing so.
Would avoid them until they can demonstrate they can outperform the FTSE (their own measurement criteria) over 6 months / 1 year / 3 years to show some consistency of performance.

All true, exactly the same thing in my case. They sound so clever and "on the ball" but cannot deliver what they promise. Like a group of keen sixth formers investing with imaginary funds, they're essentially amateurs.
