Lloyds to push further into wealth management – another disaster waiting to happen

The recent announcement that Lloyds Bank is planning a big push into wealth management is really scary.

The last time I wrote a blog about Lloyds I reported a record fine of £28 million for “serious advice failings”. Why on earth should we trust them to do any better this time around?

It is not long ago that The Financial Ombudsman reported that Lloyds showed the most complaints. Since then many of their more experienced advisers have taken redundancy and yet again their next expansion plan involves rolling pension and investment products out to its unsuspecting customers.

Please, please do not become one of their victims – or for that matter a victim of any of the other banks.

So where do you go for help?

As always personal recommendations are a good starting point (but even then do be careful). Make sure your friend is quite clear about measurable results and is not just telling you he/she is dealing with a very nice man/woman.

If you buy anything online, or do your banking online, one of the online services such as Hargreaves Lansdown may work well for you. That is where I come in – I hold all my investments/pensions with Hargreaves Lansdown. My “Guidance Service” will help you get established very quickly, make sure you avoid mistakes, and will set you up with some great monitoring processes.

Just drop me a text on 07770 575122 and let’s talk about how it all works.
