Posted at 17/12/2020 10:45 by fidra Thanks for your reply Simon Gordon .not exactually sure what they get out of this company that I don’t !Had a letter in from my favourite( non )provider announcing more fees from February. Letter dated 10th surprised it was announced to investors before .makes me wonder that all the money collected will be going to a service which this morning was two calls long. The first put through to a full answer machine.the second got contact after 12 minutes 36 seconds . Guess what...... they will call me back. I asked to speak to the compliance department .....should really have asked for the non compliance dept! |
Posted at 05/10/2018 12:32 by typo56 Investors might like to check the employee reviews on glassdoor.co.uk Of course, these may be fake and/or a disgruntled minority. However, I've found Glassdoor gives a reasonably reliable insight into companies and in general the better performing companies have better Glassdoor reviews.CBP scores 1.8/5.0, which is poor. Only 41% approve of the CEO Only 8% recommend to a friend. That's really poor. There were two reviews last month from former employees. 26 Sep 2018 "If you don’t want to be valued, this is the company for you." Former Employee - Anonymous Employee Doesn't Recommend Neutral Outlook Disapproves of CEO I worked at Curtis Banks full-time (More than 3 years) Pros Salary People (not senior managers) Cons IT system not good enough Senior managers don’t value their staff Have grown too rapidly, processes not in place 22 Sep 2018 "Grew fast, fell quickly" Former Employee - Anonymous Employee in Bristol, England Doesn't Recommend Negative Outlook Disapproves of CEO I worked at Curtis Banks full-time (More than 3 years) Pros Nice people, good location, good Christmas parties Cons Lack of strategic thinking. Company expanded so quickly that some departments running inefficiently and independently, so cross company comms are poor. Mass exodus of the good staff over past two years since buying out Suffolk Life, when the rot really set in. Those left over dealing with a culture clash of trying to wedge two very different (politically and operationally) companies together.

Posted at 17/1/2017 15:08 by schmally Nest and auto enrolled members are a totally different demographic and market segment compared to CB and other genuine full Sipp providers. NEST accommodates a low cost limited fund range. Full SIPPs accommodate assets that can't be homed on an investment platform such as commercial property and will remain an ideal solution for HNW and more sophisticated investors, plus clients requiring more flexible drawdown options. CB is however facing huge challenges in terms of being able to maintain its historical growth rates due to a lack of financially viable acquisition targets. Even after the plunge in share price CB's current PE suggests an expectation of continued rapid growth which simply won't happen organically. |
Posted at 10/10/2016 11:04 by schmally I think it's only now started to dawn on investors that Curtis Banks now have very limited viable acquisition opportunities of any scale left to target. They have hoovered up some low hanging fruit, but many of the remaining "full SIPP" providers are simply poor value, or hold too many non-standard, potentially toxic investments on their books that could result in significant future liabilities, in the event of multiple claims.There may be a few smaller acquisitions still to come, but CB may now have to target a platform SIPP provider to open up volume SIPP markets, but this space is congested and any acquisitions are likely to be beyond CB's current means, unless they make a call to the market or increase borrowing. They also risk spreading themselves too thin, with a lot of tricky acquisitions that can't easily be consolidated within a generic operating model, so it's not always easy to drive economies of scale. Interest earnings will also have all but fallen to zero and are unlikely to increase significantly for a while. |

Posted at 28/5/2015 13:20 by thorne1 This is a top quality business providing access for investors to an attractive new area in the financial services sector.The company aims to be a consolidator and will be able to benefit significantly from economies of scale.The business has very quickly attracted a firm following and should provide a profitable experience for investors over the next few years. |
