I was part of a company pension plan that Stephen managed. After I left the company I decided to stay with Stephen as my pension pot had performed well and I found Stephen's advice and guidance excellent.
How did Stephen help you?
With good advice and guidance and good financial performance.

No, but through no fault of Stephen. He has done as well as possible in the last few years despite extremely difficult international financial markets.

Review for Stephen Sumner
What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser?
I've been a customer of Stephen for many years
How did Stephen help you?
Stephen is always at the end of the phone should I want advice any time, but we have an annual review where we talk about past performance and future plans, including family situations too.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I've been extremely surprised this year, after Covid, at the performance of the funds that Stephen has recommended, throughout the year.
What could they have done better?
Personally, I can't think of anything, he always asks for suggestions and feedback at our annual reviews, and any I have given in the past has always been acted upon immediately. Being open and approachable allows for this to happen easily.
