Many people post questions with respect to their AVC funds held (or other pensions or policies) with Equitable Life. A useful place to learn more or post questions is the Motley Fool forum on EL. Paul Braithwaite and Liz Kwantes, two leading lights in the EL member groups read and respond as well as many more people. The usual cautions apply to acting on information on the boards - but it is another useful source of opinions.
Hope it's helpful.
