Brighter Super head of listed equities and ESG Fiona Mann was shaped by a childhood steeped in military-like discipline and global nomadism. Andrew McKean writes.
Nice to hear the recognition of the difficulties for the long serving single planner smaller practice. 30 years soon and it's time to hang up the boots. CFP etc doesn't really matter now and I've done all that. When you're climbing the ladder of success, but it's against the wrong wall, then it's time to let it go. I work for Mr Compliance now and not the client sadly. I love the clients and the relationships but I hardly have time to serve them efficiently now. It's time to go, sadly. May the good plans I leave RIP.
