Fantastic news - Adrian Lowcock is the no.4 commentator in UK personal finance - that’s Arsenal’s spot in the ‘Big Four’ so I’m particularly happy with it!

4. Adrian Lowcock, senior investment adviser at Bestinvest – “Lowcock became Bestinvest’s main media spokesperson in autumn 2008”

.”A change in the in the media and marketing strategy of financial intermediary firm Bestinvest has seen Adrian Lowcock catapulted into the media spotlight, commentating in both the national and the trade press. The firm’s senior investment adviser, Lowcock became its main media spokesperson in autumn 2008 and has been a significant commentator on investment-related issues ever since. He also edits the company’s client magazine and compiles the renowned and much reported Bestinvest Spot the Dog report, which identifies the worst performing funds in the industry. One drawback to this increased media role, he says, is that he has had to scale down the number of clients he advises”
