Peter Brown is always on the ball,
I would be very wary of dealing with a smaller provider like that.Hi All,
Probably a long shot but has anyone here used his services? If you could provide any feedback on your experience that would be great. I've met with them and liked what I heard, but lots of people can talk the talk. Some insight on their performance / capabilities from someone who knows would be a great help.
Do you want an active or passive investment strategy?Hi All,

I really don't think you can say that without documenting all his forecasts over the last ten years and comparing them with the outcomes.
I put people like Peter Brown and Paul Sommerville in similar buckets, i.e. shock jocks who terrify investors with their regular predictions of doom in markets.
Do you want an active or passive investment strategy?
What they should do it guide you through the maze of financial products and funds, finding the one most suitable for you. And helping you plan for your future, so you have enough money to enjoy life.
Does he do horoscopes as well?@Brendan Burgess well I meant he is prepared to make bold predictions and go against the consensus, it was pretty bold to be advising people to stay away from tech and bonds 2 years ago and that inflation was returning. Nobody else in the Irish financial commentary was saying that.
And what was he saying 4/6/8/10 years ago?@Brendan Burgess well I meant he is prepared to make bold predictions and go against the consensus, it was pretty bold to be advising people to stay away from tech and bonds 2 years ago and that inflation was returning. Nobody else in the Irish financial commentary was saying that.
Article I wrote in July 2020.@Brendan Burgess well I meant he is prepared to make bold predictions and go against the consensus, it was pretty bold to be advising people to stay away from tech and bonds 2 years ago and that inflation was returning.

He was probably a bit early with regard to the US markets and US dollar being overvalued in 2020 but he was bang on about inflation and the bond markets and Europe.And what was he saying 4/6/8/10 years ago?
I was actually surprised at the vitriol and disdain I got from people on this site about him
Maybe vitriol is a bit strong but definitely disdain and ridicule of his viewpoints.When was that? I can't find occasional mentions of him on Askaboutmoney but no vitriol.
"A bit early" presumably means "wrong"?He was probably a bit early with regard to the US markets and US dollar being overvalued in 2020 but he was bang on about inflation and the bond markets and Europe.
He is often interviewed during the business section of RTE lunchtime news. Just commentary and analysis and no "doom gloom warnings". I have no idea what he is like as an investment adviser but the pejorative labelling here is just nonesense (or "shock-jocking", maybe).I just Googled a few articles and I don't see the doom gloom warnings either. Granted it was just a quick search! Perhaps there are loads
@Gordon Gekko - is it possible you've tarred him with the same brush as Paul Sommerville unfairly? Or is that really his thing?
