rockettom says "Avoid the Smith Barney pirates" about Citi Smith Barney Financial Investments

We have had Smith Barney IRA's for over 20 years. They started ok, we survived all the mergers and acquisitions, even went along with the whopping $40/year per account that they charged for mailing us four statements a year (which were unintelligible, by the way, by far the worst format in the industry.). But this year, they went to $75/year per account maintenance fee for their four mailings. We bailed. Plus when we closed our accounts, they charged the $75 fee plus another $75 for "Termination Fee". Cost us $600 just to close fouor accounts. These guys are really pirates. CitiBank is getting all these Federal bailout funds but they are still sticking it to their customers. I say, let them go down.

micaho says "depends on who your advisor is, mine is good" about Citi Smith Barney Financial Investments

My money is in good hands with my advisor. He keeps me abreast of the economic climate, helps me when I don't understand and provides me with knowledgeable insight. My other advisors have not been customer service friendly and my newest advisor of over four years now is very helpful even in this economic turmoil I don't think a brand is required for investments, although it may help- i think it has a lot to do with the individual advisor and the type of service they can provide for you specifically. ...

jeno654321 says "They rape their investors, one by one..." about Citi Smith Barney Financial Investments

It is truly best I do not write a review....why.? The truth hurts and I assure you the one person so far that has rated this company is most assuredly a moron. I will add that it is obvious they like their broker, the single most important thing a broker sells is themself. If you cannot sell yourself, you will not survive the industry.

Does this reviewer have a clue about investing....absolutely not!!! My advice is...be extra careful of all reviews, especially those written by a total novice. A LITTLE knowledge is very dangerous...!!!

swittie1 says "Solid, Trustworthy and Reliable - everything I ask for!" about Citi Smith Barney Financial Investments

My family and I have been invested with Smith Barney for decades. I have only experienced solid, trustworthy advice. My grandparents have trusted them with their hard-earned money since the 70's. Since then, they have proved to be reliable, knowledgable and steady.

As my employment has transferred from different companies and I save into 401K's, I roll them to Smith Barney and feel confident they are in good hands. I have also set up Simple IRA's as well as invested in mutual funds. I do not babysit my investments, as I know over the long-haul they will prosper.

During this difficult economic time, I am sure everyone has growing concerns over their finances as well as their investments. I feel confident that my investment is in good hands to recover well as our economy heals.
