Anyone have the article that Woodford's underperformance was identified in 2017? Why didn't they act? And should Dampier have been allowed to cash in his shares? Lack of accountability. Being a service platform is one thing, they're good at it.

But managing investments and giving investment advice...

On reading the letter, more likely on fund managers complying with tightening FCA regulations.....

The letter just published from the fca to Nicky Morgan MP reveals that the platform system is under review as it is in part to blame for the woodford fiasco, expect some expensive new restrictions on HL going forward...

What is the feedback from anyone using A J Bell. Does anyone use them and could comment on their strenths and weakness. ?

When I started investing 20 years ago most of my holdings were in unit trust. Apart from lindsell train global I am now in Investment Trusts for obvious reasons. The Woodford episode will make a lot of people readjust their holdings.

I am not saying HL did not believe in his investment idea. Yet many other multimanagers didn't buy into him, and ergo the point I highlight in quality of fund research, level of diligence, and problems with conflict of interest.

Also HL said something like Woodford was potentially the greatest investor of his generation and that he was the Warren Buffet on this side of the Atlantic.. So if you are looking to measure height and hype, how does that sound? Almost nothing in the literature of credible financial advice comes even close to such tall remarks. And for his sound bites, Dampier cashed in some £4-5 million worth of shares. If only he had such foresight in his job, and one wonders he only did so because he saw the disaster he had brought to HL's fund range and its clients.

Between us, it is extremely tall to see you try to defend Hargreaves on this.

Indefensible.
