I have had my IRA thru a financial manager at Morgan-Stanley for the past 11 years and have always had double-digit gains., been satisfied with fees, etc. He has now moved from them to Ameriprise Financial. I, of course, have the option to stay put or go with him which I am leaning toward doing. I have checked out Ameriprise and they appear to be a good, but smaller company. I inquired as to their analysist & they advised they have 4 companies available for this whereas you only received MS views, plus fees would probably be a bit lower. My financial advisor is great in that he is always available, when drastic things happen in the market he calls me before I get in touch with him, has a masters degree from Clemson (but I will forgive him for that) & was born & raised in this area and has lots of family here. He began w/MS after college & has worked for them 23 years. He had an assistant & secretary who are following him to Ameriprise.
Question, have any of you dealt with Ameriprise; if so, have you been satisfied with their analysists, fees, reports, etc. Also opinion as to whether you feel a larger company or smaller one is better or perhaps makes no difference. I have quite a bit of money in the IRA, plus a large annuity outside the IRA that would be moved. I am pretty old and really hate change particularly when it comes to finances.
