What a performance
Article Abstract:
Some UK stockbrokers have had problems in meeting increased demand for their services and fear adding capacity in case the market undergoes a downturn. This has led to delays in answering phone calls which can be a problem for investors who are reluctant to change brokers because they have paid a joining fee. Meanwhile, benchmarks have been established for investment management, and they should help investors though they have some drawbacks such as lack of information on capital gains tax planning.

Fees for all
Article Abstract:
Stockbrokers' charges are not always easy to understand, and this applies especially to discretionary portfolio management. Combinations of commission and fees vary and this affects the percentage of returns paid out in charges. Charges may be competitive for a particular portfolio size and not for another. Clients often do not consider charges to be a serious issue when assessing a stockbroker, since service quality is also important, even when clients seek execution-only services.
