My financial experiences with Albritton Financial Services and Cambridge Investment Research, Inc…read morehas been considerably less than stellar. Monthly management fees exceeded 1.5% of our total portfolio (as determined by our CPA), but those are not the only fees charged. Fees for paper statements, maintenance fees, and termination fees of $100/account, in my mind, are excessive. In addition, this firm (AFS) does not honor the requests of the clients. (In my case, I was going to be charged $75 to make an OTC purchase of a penny stock which Mr Albritton decided was not in my best interest. The next day the stock doubled in price.) In addition,Mr. Albritton is not FNRA certified (which I found out after transferring our accounts.) As a result, my husband and I have terminated our accounts and our dealings with AFS and Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. Expectations of a smooth transfer of our assets was not to be, however. After a month of attempting to transfer our assets, we are still waiting for all of our funds to transfer. This firm was recommended by our trust lawyer as being "easy to deal with." Not the case in our situation. I would not recommend Albritton Financial Services or Cambridge Research, Inc to my worst enemy. If you choose to do so, "caveat emptor", BUYER BEWARE!
