    I am a client of Announcer, and have been for some years before this acquisition. Since being taken over, the service provided has gone downhill to the point where I am looking at moving away from Infocus/Announcer to another company.

    A `Non-Aligned’ licensee with it’s own financial products – makes sense NOT. Especially when the good times end and the `Non-aligned’ doesn’t have the capital backing of the `Aligned’. Non-Aligned is a dangerous farce for retail clients.
