Stockbrokers: still willing and eager

Article Abstract:

Most of UK's major consolidated securities companies no longer cater to private clients. These private individuals are being targeted by the more than 200 stockingbroking companies currently operating in the region. The services offered by these stockbrokers, most of which are subsidiaries of big financinal companies, typically include advisory of discretionary fund management, personal planning, tax planning, insurance planning, and private banking. Most stockbrokers require the mimimum size of portfolios to be within the range of 50,000 to 100,000 pounds sterling, but there are those that do not set any mimimum. Among the points to be considered when selecting a stockbroking firm is its performance in dealing and settlement, its charges, and possible conflicts of interest.

Chartereds and consultants combined

Article Abstract:

Chartered accountants who wish to transfer to management consultancy (MC) jobs are faced with difficulties in making such a transition. Foremost of these challenges are the persistent attitudes against hiring chartered accountants in the MC divisions of companies. One is that they have already internalized the policies of the accounting firms in which they started. The other is that these chartered accountants have not gone through adequate training and work experience. Due tothese perceptions, individuals who have originally worked in an industrial setting have a competitive edge over chartered accountants in being recruited as management consultants. The graduation of two chartered accountants into management consultancy positions are recounted.
