Yes, indeed.

I think one problem was that the client had conflicting objectives. He wanted in on the bull market in equities and property (didn't everyone?), but also wanted to preserve a defined tax-free cash payout.

I think it is foolish to assume that a one-size solution can fit everyone - whether 100% equities or fixed interest.



For the avoidance of doubt: I work for an IFA.
