This clown Frank is not to be believed. Their data is wrong, it does not update, it is a fraud for which they are overcharging. It is time someone speaks up. Not to mention I showed him how to write on this topic, he stole my idea and now he writes a report on his own. Too bad, because their data is poor, and his heart is not into it.
As an asset manager, I will never pay him and Broadridge a cent of my money.
