Fidelity Investments reviews

The red tape associated with any large company can get in the way of progress. Six sigma efficiencies are being applied to practices where the human element is a major factor in decision making. The corporate culture that made Fidelity great is being shredded apart by huge veils of secrecy with the new leadership. While Ned Johnson is still the chairman of the board a lot of the decision making is being done by the new president.

Fidelity Investment Institutional Services handles employer retirement plans. They have the potential to affect the lives of so many customers whether they are just starting their first 401K plan or retiring from the work force. Today when the financial lives of so many individuals are so uncertain, the work of the retirement specialist is immensely important. What they say or don't say can have profound consequences. This is a great opportunity for individuals with great fiduciary responsibility. However, it is unfortunate that the advancement egos of so many managers suppress this responsibility of the retirement specialist. If you are fortunate to find a manager that truly buys into the fiduciary responsibility of their role, then you will gain satisfactory of doing a great job. Unfortunately, these are few among Fidelity's management team.
