<p><p>&quot;He would say that, wouldn't he&quot; ( Mandy Rice-Davies on John Profumo )</p>
<p>My mail is that the banks are gearing up to replace bank-based advisers with Robo Advice, with products being sold on a General Advice basis.</p>
<p>They will sell their bank owned distribution (sorry, I mean dealers ) because they cannot control the liability for poor personal advice. There is indeed a limit to the cheque book.</p>
<p>That's why Trowbridge is so good for them-reduce commission outlays for the IFA advisers, but only in the short term (according to Simon Swanson).</p>
<p>And banks are ONLY interested in Short Term shareholder value.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
