He is good at explaining issues and at maintaining contact. I don't feel my investments have been in his hands long enough yet to assess fairly the value of his actual advice.

How has Andrew Chorley helped you?

My advisor completely understands my investment goals and attitude to risk, he is very approachable and available and promptly researches any new investment approaches I enquire about. I get a regular quarterly review of my investments and an annual breakdown of what's working and what's not.

What could they have done better?

Possibly be good to use a small proportion of the portfolio to deal more actively in equities.

How has Andrew Chorley helped you?

Andrew and his colleague at Financial Planning Wales wanted to meet with me for an initial chat to determine if I would be a good fit for the service that they offered. I was impressed with that they gave me some initial advice, for free and were keen to develop a relationship with me. They took copious notes and followed up with a good summary email despite there being no pressure to proceed with the financial review. The review was undertaken in a timely manner and fully met my expectations in terms of its scope. I had a number of minor comments that Andrew was happy to incorporate into the review, which was then reissued. I felt that he had responded well and that the service offered excellent value for money. In addition Andrew identified a commission payable from my bonds that could be refunded to me and amounted to around half of the cost of their service.

What could they have done better?

The first issue of the report was not 100% in that they had been unable to obtain the current balance of my cash ISA. The figure that had been entered into their calculator therefore delivered a negative yearly result (obviously not possible in an ISA where no funds had been withdrawn). I felt that he should have come to me earlier to identify this issue and I could have obtained the balance myself, allowing the report to be issued with correct information.

Andrew takes the time to go through the individual parts that make up the pension of someone who has chnged employer several times in his career. The recommendations that Andrew made for me were different for the different parts and were tailored to my needs. He has been extremely clear in his advice and in the steps necessary to pull it all together.
