Mixed Reviews of Applewood Independent

Concerns and Disappointment

Roger, a current client of Applewood Independent, expresses disappointment and frustration with the service, stating that the verbal promises made were merely part of a well-rehearsed sales pitch. He claims that his portfolio has made significant losses, and he is now taking his case to the Ombudsman due to potential misrepresentations and omissions. Despite his losses, Applewood Independent and Fidelity continue to take their commission, leading Roger to feel that they are the only winners in this situation.

Praise and Satisfaction

On the other hand, John Perry is extremely satisfied with the service provided by Applewood Independent. He praises their professionalism, proactiveness, and responsiveness, highlighting the courtesy and quick responses from the office staff. He is impressed by their understanding of the markets and fund selection, and has been pleased with the performance of his assets under their control. John would not hesitate to recommend Applewood Independent to others.
