Pros: Great research tools; Trades are completed very quickly Cons: Web site needs some changes: Commissions are higher than others
Financial markets haven't been very stable as of late and many investors have pulled their money out of stock investments, opting instead for safer investments like money markets, government bonds, and corporate bonds and or their respective mutual ...
Fidelity Investments is a discount brokerage, service which generally means the customer has full control over their accounts, trades and investments decisions. A full-service brokerage is different than Fidelity Investments as they ...
Pros: Best Index Funds, Easy Interface, Large and Stable Company, Variety of Services, Low Fees Cons: Minimize their strengths by steering you into some pricier and inferior investment vehicles.
Fidelity is an investment company that runs a plethora of money management services from brokerage accounts, insurance, mutual funds and other devices that by their own admission will "make your money work harder for you". As a matter of fact, so ample ...
Pros: Great service and comprehensive research Cons: More expensive than most
Fidelity is an excellent company to choose for financial services. While they don’t fall into the “discount” category they do justify their higher prices with quality service. If you have read my other reviews you know that I am very cheap, but...
Pros: World-class customer service, full range of offerings, excellent online account management. Cons: High commission fees, no Coverdell IRA, privileges dependent on account worth.
There are far more good things to say about Fidelity Investments than bad, so I’ll get my dislikes out of the way first.
Dislikes
Doing business at Fidelity is not cheap, commission can be as high as $55 per stock trade,...
Pros: Friendly customer service Cons: Higher costs for trades
Diversification! If you are going to play the market, why put all your hard earned money into a handful of stocks when you can spread the risk with mutual funds? That is one of the selling points of Fidelity Brokerage. As well as offering stocks,...
Pros: Excellent Customer Service, Excellent Mutual Fund Performance, Useful website Cons: Expensive if you're into trading stocks.
Background I recently underwent a major change in careers and had a decent sized 401K accumulated at my old workplace. I currently have a Roth IRA with Vanguard, but not wanting to consolidate all my retirement into a single company, after ...
Pros: One-stop shopping, comprehensive online account view Cons: error-prone processes, abysmal service recovery, general lack of customer concern
Executive summary: Save yourself a LOT of pain and do not try to switch or consolidate accounts to Fidelity. Regardless of asset balances, they simply do not seem to want your money. Service recovery is non-existent even when you get into their "Premium...
Pros: Excellent customer service. Easy to use website with excellent information. Cons: Service is more expensive than others. There are better active-trading services.
Like the title says, I'm serious about my finances - I take them very personally. So when I put my money some place they better be just as serious. In this case, Fidelity fits the bill.
Pros: Site is multifaceted, powerful--albeit not speedy. Carries more mutual funds than some others.
Cons: Account transfers may require considerable time. Reps are polite--if you don’t phone too often.
Perhaps I will benefit someone by relating my experiences—satisfying and otherwise—with my Fidelity brokerage accounts. In the protracted bearishness of these times, and in light of my depleted portfolio, it truly pains me even to mention stocks, funds,...
Pros: Well Intentioned Cons: Fallen Behind Competitors' Offerings
Through early to mid 1999, Fidelity Online offered clients first-rate service compared to the prevailing market. Their infrastructure has changed very little by February of 2000, and that's the problem. While, its competitors have streamlined operations,...
Pros: tremendous facilities, well organized, reliable Cons: none to speak of
I’ve had an IRA account with Fidelity since about 1985 and I’ve traded stocks and mutual funds on-line through Fidelity Investments for about 3 years. In 1999, I have made approximately 90 on-line stock trades within my IRA through Fidelity. I prefer to...
Pros: PowerStreet NOT up to snuff for active traders - SLOW trades Cons: Sometimes delivers inaccurate quotes, SLOW, slow, SLOW, executions, takes FOREVER to reach a human at "customer service", intermittently fails to recognize common symbols!
This is an update of my earlier posts on Fidelity. This one written on July 1, 2000. Fidelity has been making slow but steady progress in improving its site's dependability and usability. Both POWERSTREET for active traders and its regular site are...
