Fidelity in Sumter Landing?

[Avista]

I heard that Fidelity is coming to Sumter Landing 1st quarter next year. This would be great news for us. Does anyone know if it is true?

[villages07]

Yep, it's true.... Check the construction update in the Sun. They are either going in to part of where southern lifestyles is or in the current Villages Insurance location... Can't recall right now which space.

Is this Fidelity Financial or the BIG Mutual Fund Company Fidelity Investments???

[Avista]

It's Fidelity.com. They are all over the country. When we lived in Tampa, we attended their classes etc. Never pressure, but a great place to learn about things. We have missed the seminars. So glad they will be here. We work with them by phone, but will be great to be able to talk to someone in person again.

I think the answer to your question is Fidelity Investments. Fidelity.com is their website.

[784caroline]

I certainly hope you are correct....Fidelity Investments would be a welcome addition to The Villages.

Vanguard would be better and less expensive to use. Check out their fees and performance.

My son is a vice president of Fidelity (Fidelity Investments from Boston) and it is TRUE that they are opening in Sumter Landing.

The Fidelity Investor Center opening in March 2011 in The Villages will be at:
1057 Lake Sumter Landings
The Villages, FL 32162

The Office manager will be, Abel Oonnooney, who has worked in NYC for Fidelity. He currently is looking to purchase a home for is family in the area and is looking at the local schools (he has two young kids).

Fidelity is probably more of a broker than a fund company. You can buy Vanguard and a slew of other funds along with stocks, bonds, CDs, etc. And since Vanguard offers no load options why not consolidate your holdings?

Great News indeed. I have been working with them for almost 30 years.
Good service and no high pressure sales pitch. :welcome::welcome:

Depends on the fund(s), Vanguard does have slightly lower cost but Fidelity has more funds and many totally out perform Vanguard to make that little savings on fund cost a total joke . . . Fidelity is also better at planning out the options at age 70 1/2 . . . just follow the green line!

We will be relocating to The Villages in August and I'm thinking of moving my investments to Fidelity so I could deal with someone "face to face". Has anyone been using Fidelity and dealing with anyone at the LSL location they would recommend? Also, looking for an overall opinion of Fidelity investments in general. All opinions are welcome!

[Avista]

We've been with Fidelity years. They present options but absolutely no pressure. Very accommodating! Recommend their seminars.

Obviously there are many more people on here that know about investments than I do. So, I have to ask this question. Is it better to do investing with an orginization like Fidelity or Vanguard instead of through Wachovia/Wells Fargo Securities division. Is there really that much difference?

[StarbuckSammy]

Fidelity has a great online website for bond and equity transactions and it is a real plus to have an office here in The Villages. They do not have that many offices so it's hats off to The Villages.

Fidelity in Lake Sumter Landing, hmmm.

I guess STDs are down. :024:

[l2ridehd]

Banks have an investment group as a sideline to their core business. Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, and a few others, investment is their core business. Each one has some good points, but all are solid companies to work with. Vanguard is lower cost on almost all their mutual funds, Fidelity has more products, and Schwab specializes in low cost stock and option trading and trading products. I use all three because I like different features of each. Where I do most of my investment management myself, I tend to use Schwab the most, but have some specific funds at both the others.

I personally would never work through a bank for these things. The fees are higher the products more limited and their advice questionable. I am sure we will now get the 100 exceptions to that statement, and a bank may be a good option for a limited set of risk adverse investors, but you can do much better elsewhere.

Thanks l2.
