T Rowe Price

Very bad experience with this firm. We’ve had stock for years and while investment results are not great, but OK there handling of our account is unbelievable. They turned the account over to the Stater of Illinois without my consent or by making a reasonable effort to reach me. They called on October 9^th, 2015 and the tone of the call seemed questionable so I asked them to mail me the information. I hung up on them thinking it was probably a scam. The very fact that I talked to them would indicate that I was alive and should satisfy the requirements of the law.
I then received a letter indicating my account balance was 0. My first thought was «could I be a victim of identity theft?» So I called them and was told it was turned over to the state. At minimum, I would expect them to send a certified letter indicating that unless I responded, by law they have to turn it over to the state. No such letter.
I guess my business wasn’t worth the cost of a certified letter.
Now I have to jump through hoops with the state of Illinois to get my stock back.
Thanks T. Rowe Price
UPDATE 1÷5÷16: The state of Illinois claims they don’t have the stock.
T RowePrice claims they don’t have the stock.
Nice dilemma T. RowePrice created. Spare yourself the grief and go with another firm.

I have a number of investments at T. Rowe Price, from mutual and bond funds, to annuities. I’ve been happy with their range of investments, especially their no-​load mutual funds, and have appreciated their conservative approach to investing as a customer for over 35 years.
These days, it is very important to choose your investments wisely and avoid trying to get rich quick.
Hopefully, someone in Congress will wake up and stop our economy from self-​destructing — with the inevitable collapse of the dollar. If that happens, Unilocal,about the only reviews you’ll get are from people who escape FEMA concentration camps.
Slow and steady wins the race.
