UK wealth management firm goes bankrupt.

Careful with your money, please. This theme has been covered in my blog many times. Avoid brokers who trade for themselves, indulge in a host of other activities beyond broking. Stay with the boutique broker – the broker who knows you and you have his cell number. In any case, do not give any money to anyone for investing, ‘wealth management’ or whatever.(this is common sense but so many break this simple rule).
