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

Use of redundancy lump sum.

How has Stephen Ng helped you?

Stephen understands our needs and listens carefully to our preferences. He is reassuring about complicated procedures. He never tries to push a product or influence us beyond advice. He has been very sympathetic and a good friend in our difficult circumstances since my husband's Alzheimer's diagnosis.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Needing help with care costs and helping with funds for grandchildren. Help from Stephen has been reassuring and secured the financial situation.

What could they have done better?

Sometimes I find the documentation a little confusing and need to know how to deal with summaries etc that arrive in the post, so could do with advice on keeping records perhaps, but I know I can ask about this when we have a meeting.

I contacted Stephen because I was selling my business.

How has Stephen Ng helped you?

Stephen has been looking after my financial portfolio since selling my business in 2009, with twice yearly reviews which he always works around my diary no matter where I am. Over the years Stephen has provided me with excellent advise, always taking into consideration my likes/dislikes about certain financial products and provides me with alternative ideas. He's recently reviewed my various pensions and amalagmated them into one. Stephen always gives me great comfort in knowing my financial portfolio is save and on track for my retirement.

Yes, I am very happy with the return I have achieved on a number of my products.

We are very pleased with the service we have received from Stephen. His approach is undemanding and personable. He is not at all pushy, unlike some, and ensures his advice is relevant to our needs. Stephen has been very good at putting his advice into layman's terms and not baffling us with jargon! We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Nothing comes to mind that needs improving.

How has Stephen Ng helped you?

I have known Stephen for over 15 years. I have always been very impressed by his calm professionalism and integrity. He maintains excellent CPD standards and has the gift of being able to present his advice to his clients in an accessible fashion but without in any way compromising the quality of that advice. It is evident that he prepares very thoroughly for meetings with clients. I have been grateful to Stephen for the advice he has given to me and the considerate manner in which he has advised my parents over very many years.

How has Stephen Ng helped you?

I have known Stephen for many years and became a direct client 7 years ago. During this time I have had every confidence that Stephen understands my individual requirements and needs and has provided suitable advice when it has been appropriate and has not just provided advice for advice sake. It is pleasing to see that he takes his own professional development and alround financial knowledge very serious so that he is well equipped to provide advice on the ever changing economic and market conditions.

What could they have done better?

He needs to improve his golf handicap.The last time we played he was a atrocious!

Stephen provides reliable, high quality and proactive advice. He clearly knows the sector extremely well and as such the advice he provides ensures that the products & funds he recommends are always well suited to my desired risk profile and needs. I would have no qualms in recommending his services to others as I have done on a number of occasions in the past.

How has Stephen Ng helped you?

We sold our business 3 years ago and after paying off several debts we had a financial pot which we were keen to invest for the future as we were still relatively young and needed our money to work for us. We spoke to several Financial Advisers who were extremely pushy in their approach and did not fill us with the greatest confidence. We met Stephen by chance through a mutual friend and immediately struck up a rapport, it was refreshing to talk to someone in the sector who let us do the talking about what we wanted. Once we had established we would like to work together he provided us with the help and advice we needed in order to make the right choices that were a good fit. 3 years on our fund has gone from strength to strength and we have regular meetings with Stephen to talk through our concerns or about our thoughts on where the market may be heading. He also gives us every angle to consider when changing things or making new investments. He is extremely efficient and helpful and we would highly recommend him and his team in Create Wealth to anyone looking for advice on investment planning and management.

How has Stephen Ng helped you?

Stephen is one of the few IFA's who truly offers unbiased advice. He is a good listener and sees it as a strength to double check on issues he isn't 100% sure of. I am a firm believer that good advice is advice worth paying for. Most people think they know about financial issues or what is best for them and their money. The reality is, in my view, far different and means that many act too quickly or on impulse when making serious financial decisions. As an industry, financial services has been justifiably tarnished with the wrong brush. As such, it is important to seek out a competent and honest advisor, one more interested in your needs than their own.
