Fidelity Investments

Pros: fast web site, multual funds
Cons: no ipos of value, poor research

I like Fidelity brokerage because of its fast easy to use web site, and its access to very many mutual funds. The electronic transfer services work perfectly. Orders get executed quickly. Costs are a bit high, but frequent traders get a discount to about...

Pros: Great Customer Service
Cons: No Real-Time Price Updates

I just recently switched my online brokerage from NDB to Fidelity - as an active trader, the fee is very close. If you see my previous reviews, you'll know why I switched from NDB.

From a customer service point-of-view, there is no better...

Pros: Solid customer service, fast executions, decent research
Cons: not as configurable as others, marginally more expensive than others

I've used Fidelity for over five years and have no reason to leave: they offer all the services I need, including a comprehensive management of all my retirement accounts and active brokerage account, as well as a good place to do research on stocks and...

Pros: Well rounded, a little for everyone
Cons: Too confusing to navigate

Fidelity Investments is the largest mutual fund company in the world. Many people have their 401K's invested through Fidelity whether they know it or not. That said Fidelity is really much more than just a mutual fund company and it can get pretty...

Pros: good security, good customer service, good fund portfolio
Cons: lacks some web features, web report slow to update

I invest in Fidelity Select funds, and I trade them about once a month. I haven't had any experience ordering stock through them; I use Etrade for that because it's cheaper.

I would say that I am highly satisfied with the aspects of their...

Pros: Tax free growth of the money you invest.
Cons: May not be able to use it for yourself.

Like most people in America, I did not have the benefit of being born to a family of means. Like me, my son also does not have that benefit. If things go as planned, our next child will come in a few years, and he/she won't have that benefit, either....

Pros: Efficient, fast, safe
Cons: too many mutual funds

I have my IRA, Keough and Money Market accounts with Fidelity and am pretty happy. While not a day trader I do trade about 20 times per month using the phone, computer or RIM blackberry pager. I have never had a problem with executions and customer...

Pros: Wide range of services, good customer service
Cons: Many web site problems, poor executions, very conservative margin rules

Fidelity has a lot going for it for non-active traders, including a wide range of services, generally good customer service, nice statements, etc. But as an increasingly active trader (sometimes 12 trades per day, sometimes 5 per week) I have grown to...

Pros: Service, Prices, Execution
Cons: none

Fidelity is the true leader in the financial industry. From their funds to their brokerage it is a completely first class operation. The rates are reasonable, the service is better than expected, and your security is beyond question. Generally, I use...

Pros: Phone system, quality of funs, low cost
Cons: voice recognition system, cost not the lowest

I've been a Fidelity investor for 5 years now. All of the funds I have (and there are 12 of them) have been above average for returns. Sure some have been tops and others just average, but on balance you can diversify and get a good return on your money....

Pros: Lower fees than phone orders
Cons: Incorrect information

After attempting an online fund exchange, and for the third time this year, I logged on to the FIDELITY WEBSITE and found that they got it BACKWARDS. On every occasion I SOLD a few shares and the website showed a PURCHASE instead.

Next came...

Pros: website
Cons: lack of printed material

My only complaint with Fidelity Investments is that I can no longer receive (without paying for it) their catalog of funds. I used to request one each year so I would have current information about the funds Fidelity offered. This publication is no...

Pros: Fair prices, lots of services
Cons: slow web site (its improving)

I am very familiar with Fidelity and their operations. I must say that while they may experience problems at times, they are temporary issues. Fidelity is always striving to improve.

They are able to be trend setters at times because they...

Pros: lots of service
Cons: frequent trader screen often fails

FIDELITY is the best - considering what's out there! A+ for service, whether on the phone or visiting a center. A+ if you have lots of money because you get goodies like lower trade rates.
I've recommended Fidelity to my younger family members....

Pros: Responsive to customer needs
Cons: Talk to many different represntatives

Investment planning is necessary part of most people's financial life. Fidelity makes this planning easy, convenient and most importantly, beneficial.

Recently I had to make a decision to enter a 403b plan. How to start? What questions do...
