Review of the Aviva, Pension:

View on product page

More interested in being woke than protecting your money

I has some spare cash after an endowment ended last year. I put £4000 into Aviva and used a couple of thousand to buy and sell shares with City Index. I have now lost a few hundred pounds in Aviva (I ended up drawing £2000 back out because the value was plummeting). I did, however make a few hundred buying and selling shares myself in the likes of RBS. So, if an amateur investor like me can make a good profit, why are Aviva "experts" doing so badly? The occasional emails explaining market conditions don't really hold weight when I have managed to make money myself. The fact that their website and advertising gives the impression they'd rather concentrate on being woke than protecting your investment makes them all the more annoying.
