What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser?
Retirement, I had lump sums from a number of sources, and needed advice how to make the money work best for me and my family.
How did Steven help you?
a) discussed my aims and objectives set against my family circumstances. b) explained and reviewed the options, my current disposition to risk, the likely outcomes against the current financial and economic environment. c) discussed the products currently holding my investments, their performance over the review period and the future likely performance set against likely risks. d) agreed that i would provide more up to date information on state pension forecast, currently in hand and changes to the draw down arrangements to avoid depleting my ISAs and their potential growth. e) discussed family circumstances and how these might affect my financial arrangements. f) discussed wills and LPA which I have in place.
