Review for Craig Howard

March 2025

What could they have done better?

In my opinion.. nothing

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial adviser?

As I am now 63 and part retired I wanted to draw a small lump sum and obtain a monthly drawdown

How has Craig helped you?

At first Craig comprehensively assessed my finances and ascertained my main goals. He then gave me recommendations based on my financial position and financial needs. At all times he was very clear with his explanations. He also discussed the benefits plus any risks. The information given was thorough and very professional. I have 100% confidence in PenLifes actively managed portfolio. He efficiently activated a lump sum and the monthly drawdown. Craig made the process very easy and stress free

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes..the whole process has been seamless
