The Advisor

After almost two years of record breaking success with investment company Global Portfolio, Alan Harper is shocked to learn they are closing their UK operation. Sitting in his office, Alan reflects on those two years; how he first got involved in the world of finance and the twists and turns his life took along the way. Also, he reflects on his meeting with Tara, a stunning lady who filled six months of his life until a tragic accident brought matters to a sad ending and his opportune meeting with Shelley in Thailand, that was to prove a breath of fresh air back in the UK. This story unlocks some of the mystery surrounding this area of financial services; the huge potential earnings, the benefits for high level performers, and some of the tricks used by rogue advisors to line their own pockets. The book concludes by touching on the inducements offered to lure top advisors to rival companies, which will be revealed in the sequel, The Partner.
