Ooh, smart.

I've never done that, my mate got caught once, he had the classic 'WARNING! WARNING!' with a fog horn type blast for when his mrs called.....it was fine until one day he couldn't find his phone and she rang it for him.

Classic.

Regulated by who? The Central Bank has banned cold calling and it's not looked kindly upon by the other regulators.

Changes are coming to the industry in the UAE. We've just got our new license and as long as the new proposed regulators have teeth it's going to be very news in the coming two or three years.

I stress the words if they have teeth...

I got a call from Filippina sounding woman in India yesterday asking if I was interested in meeting someone to talk about exciting opportunities in India.

I hung up before she could finish...it's easy when you do it right.

None. Seriously, none.

There are a handful of good independent financial advisers, but not a single good wealth management company. They're all rotten to the core and exist for one purpose; to sell the policy with the fattest commission for the biggest profit. :thumbdown:

Re: AES
 
May I also say, yet again, that 'wealth management' is a stupid term. It is used by people who don't really understand what proper independent financial advice actually means.
