I honestly am struggling to answer this one.
I was approaching retirement and needed professional guidance to manage my retirement funds and plans to maximum risk-managed effect.
Although I felt I had already accumulated a certain amount of awareness and financial literacy, pockets of knowledge so to speak, Paula was able to bring the full picture; she joined all the dots and really spoke about everything I should consider for the future, allocation of pension savings and funds, attitiude to risk, withdrawing it, spending it, my wife, my family, everything. In fact I think the biggest compliment I can give is that my wife really has grown appreciate Paula being there for both of us.
Absolutely
Paula's professional advice and friendly approach is top notch so I can't see how it could have been better.
I was looking for an investment platform that would offer security for my pension income
When Paula initially came to see us she quickly grasped a full understanding of what we were hoping to achieve. The advice Paula initially gave us and continued to give us throughout the years has proven to be honest and reliable. Through Paula we are confident that our investments are right for us and will meet our expectations.
Our ultimate goal was to achieve stability of our investment and with the detailed risk analysis undertaken by Paula and the product she recommended we have been able to maintain our required level of stability.
I quite happy with the out come.
Originally I had about 7 pensions, which needed sorting and putting together, and I couldn't do it.
He was very good about explaining what I need to do to consolidate all my pensions, had a few meetings to review where we up to.
Yes, things have gone well, though I not much of a gambler so he did it safely for me.
