Question to all fund managers, and please be sincere.
At IPO, how many of you own LICs, have family members who own LICs, and would recommend to any loved one they buy LICs?
Hint, at full rack rate, the same rate the schmuck off the street buys off and IPO?
If you don't own, nor would you recommend it to any loved ones, then please don't sell them to the unsuspecting public. The days of cigar chompin' worry beads "advisors" should be well behind us.
