In an effort to answer your question, you as a client call the shots, and not vice versa. If you wish your shares to be held in your name, so be it. I use C.F. because they are a large international player. Some of the other Iris h brokers leave a lot to be desired. Personally, I use a broker who treats my account as if its her own.

Yes, sure I could move to a UK broker, but I do not believe my affairs would be dealt with so carefully and honestly.
You must make your own decisions, but peace of mind plays a huge part to play in these horrible uncertain times, whence have come from incredibly difficult circumstances.
