Equitable life

Posted by Steve Scott on 27 August 2001 at 12:57:15:

I have contributed a sizeable amount of money into Equitable life as an AVC and I'm seeing it's value decreased by the ongoing decline of EL.
Although I ceased making payments into EL over 18 months ago I am very concerned about the safety and growth potential of the money that I still have invested.
I am appalled that the IBM Trustees who choose EL are in my opinion are walking away from the problem. Who is being held to account for this disasterous state of affairs ?

I am not blessed with sharp financial skills and my knowledge of investment markets in sparse, in essence I don't know what to do about my AVC savings. Any helpful advice / comments would be gratefully appreciated.
