Would be nice to see some very large director buys. And / or some RNS's of institutional / activist investor accumulations.

Once it turns it will move quickly.

QP.

Agree, the drop in net inflows has to be a huge concern.

I think investors will need to see this improve before we see any real confidence return.

Used to subscribe to IC.

Their recs were so bad decided to dig a little deeper into the jurnos who write their articles.

Was pretty shocked by the lack of experience of many, some were not long out of education with little to no "real world" investment experience and they were telling investors who probably had way more experience what to buy and sell!

Needless to say I cancelled my subscription.

"The investors do not see a chunk of their pot disappear on day one when they invest, even though that is what is happening. They just smooth it through the accounting"

.......so it's exactly the same but done in a different way. He's even saying that himself. Roughly speaking, instead of 3% up front you pay 0.5% per annum extra charges for the first six years (after which you can exit without withdrawal fees if you don't then like paying the level of ongoing fees thereafter). It's a non issue. Hardly anyone leaves in the first six years anyway (if they do then they shouldn't have done it in the first place).

He invests in a company then refers it to Parliament attempt to damage the company. He's not saying "if they sort this out the company will be much more valuable". Since when did activist investors buy into a company then try to damage it ? The blokes a clown.

Just read the article about charging base rate +3% for loans to buy out partners.
It's a bit one sided as these loans would have been just as high or higher rates in the
past , SJP has been around a lot longer than low interest rates.

So really its not the interest rate on the loan that is the problem but the price charged.

I guess that for some will be them trying to recover the amounts they paid whilst interest
rates were so low. Commodities over priced because of low borrowing costs.

SJP should not be raising funds to help out here - they invest in markets and surely see
the benefit of market forces at work.

Their members "franchises?" should just sell at the new lower market rate and tough it
out. Tough luck your investments CAN go down as well as up - as they are fond of telling
retail investors.

Problem is these "advisors" have got used to the life of the one way bet. Commission if
your investments go up , commission if they go down.

The true question though - is do they need these independent or tied advisors at all ?
There is the internet now - just make your product compelling and let people come to
you. Any truely independent advisor can send people too and still get commission.

Problem in a nutshell is that markets have been flat for the last 2 years and high charges hurt!! Thus is no problem for smart industry people, and investors, looking at annuities, low cost funds, long/short funds.SJP innovate or die... capitalism is like that.

Apple has almost gone bust a few times and the heroic investors that enjoyed the fruits of recovery bought in when it was almost worthless. The apple that rose from the ashes was an entirely different business not simply rearranging the deckchairs whilst steaming into an iceberg.

Tim3, the problem is that where the fund owns physical properties, they can't pay back investors money because they don't have the liquidity. Unless they post a few bricks to the investor instead.

And if they flog off the better properties to pay out theose wanting to cash out now then the remaining unit holders are left owning the dregs. The only was to do it is sell all properties so the fund ends up 100% cash then distribute that to everyone equally. Which takes time. Hence the suspension....

To me you should never stop investors taking their money out if they want too if the price is low then that's their choice but a least they have a choice!
