Loss of service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I hold a QROPS with Forth. The initial transfer of my pensions was well handled and the funds recommended have done well.

However the company has not developed a good post Brexit strategy. Their strategy is to partner with Morningstar and to insist that clients transfer their investments into a selection of 5 Morningstar funds.

In my case, although I'm happy with the morning star fund, I don't want put all of my assets into Morningstar. As a result Forth will no longer act for me and I will have to find an alternative Financial Advisor.

Pros:
  • Good initial advice
Cons:
  • Increase in costs without a matching increase in service level
  • Inability to provide a service post brexit
  • Tick in the box approach to annual reviews

Preferred solution: Forth to get EU registration through their Irish office so I can remain a client. Or provide assistance to find an alternative financial advisor and to refund transfer costs.

User's recommendation: Avoid for long term investments

Worst investment advice I have ever received

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Worst investment advice I have ever received. Forth Capital got me locked me into a fund for over 10 years with no way to get out except to forfeit a large part of my funds.

Over the years they have been very slow to respond to queries and follow-up advice has been non-existent. They seem to exist solely to sell you products that lock you in.

LVP ID: 16-KC0014

The complaint alleged that Post ID 606360 (“Post 1”), 616376 (“Post 2”), 706636 (“Post 3”), and 702910 (“Post 4”), contained statements in violation of Section 2 of Pissed Consumer's Terms of Use. The Posts’ authors were offered the opportunity to respond to the complaint, as provided in LVP Rule 9. The materials submitted by the parties constitute the LVP Record.

Having considered the LVP Record, the Third Party Neutral finds and holds as follows:

With respect to Post ID 606360 dated March 10, 2015, it is more likely than not that the factual statements and innuendo in the Post are defamatory and inaccurate, and that the post does not report the experience of an actual consumer of Forth’s services, and therefore, the post violates Pissed Consumer's Terms of Use. Accordingly, Post ID 606360 found at https://forth-capital.pissedconsumer.com/forth-capital-is-an-online-pension-scam-and-fraud-201503****6360.html should be removed in its entirety and the URL should be changed to remove reference to the Complainant.

Accordingly, Post ID 616376 found at https://forth-capital.pissedconsumer.com/christopher-hobbs-at-forth-capital-is-aiding-pension-crime-201504****6376.html should be removed in its entirety and the URL should be changed to remove reference to the Complainant.

With respect to Post ID 706636 dated September 27, 2015, it is more likely than not that the factual statements and innuendo in the Post are defamatory and inaccurate, and that the post does not report the experience of an actual consumer of Forth’s services, and therefore, the post violates Pissed Consumer's Terms of Use. Accordingly, Post ID 706636 found at https://forth-capital.pissedconsumer.com/watch-out-for-wealth-management-companies-201509****6636.html should be removed in its entirety and the URL should be changed to remove reference to the Complainant.
