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

I was going through a divorce and had pensions which needed reinvestment

How has Andrew Tucker helped you?

Andrew put my pension into one fund. It made enough money through investment to allow me to retire early and not touch my teachers pension until I was 60 years old

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes I am living very comfortably and am very happy with how my pension has been used to help me retire early .

What could they have done better?

There was a short time where Andrew and I lost touch and my pension investment was not making as much maybe as it could. However after reconnecting with Andrew my pension was put into an Aviva fund where it flourished. I don’t think I lost out that much but maybe the firm could have ensured that we kept in touch more regularly.

Andrew's reply

Thank you Cheryl, It's been a pleasure to have advised you throughout and I'm delighted you have achieved a lifestyle that you thoroughly enjoy in retirement. We've increased staff in recent years to ensure we have more on-going contact with clients and are always available when needed. Thanks again.

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

Five Years ago I had a major life changing health issue and consulted Andrew on a number of fronts. Not just Financial Planning (Investments already held), but also to consider immediate retirement plans. I not only had a substantial occupational pension, but also a Voluntary redundancy lump sums and some critical insurance due to my circumstances.

How has Andrew Tucker helped you?

Andrew took the time to investigate and discuss a number of short and medium term financial scenarios with me and my wife. As it turns out that was invaluable for me. I am pleased to say that I made a full recovery, and was able to work (and so invest and plan) for a further 4 years. At the start of this year I took the decided to fully retire and I am delighted with the help and support (and of course regular financial reviews undertaken with Andrew during that time). He helped me to plan a guide path and I am now seeing the benefits of his advice.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Definitely

What could they have done better?

I am a strong believer that improvements can always be made. However in what became very difficult circumstances during the Covid years, I am convinced that Andrew and the team made all sort of flexible and innovative changes to their mode of working in order to continue to provide the best experience for his clients. I have no suggestions for changes that I would have expected over and above what was offered. Andrew is always responsive, helpful, flexible and informed.

Andrew's reply

Thank you Craig, It's been a pleasure working with you and I value the relationship we have built up over the years. I'm looking forward to assisting you throughout your retirement and am always available for contact. Best wishes, Andrew.

I contacted Andrew, primarily for help with pensions and retirement planning. I felt Andrew very quickly understood us as a couple, and our dreams for the coming years. Our initial meeting didn't feel at all hurried, as Andrew explored our goals. From the information provided, Andrew was able to produce a detailed cashflow model, which he explained clearly, answering all our questions in a way that as non-financial experts, we could understand. This has given us the confidence to know that our dreams can become a reality, backed up a detailed financial plan.

Andrew held an initial discussion with my wife and I on the issues to be aware of when considering whether or not to transfer funds out of a defined benefit scheme. Both personable and very knowledgable, he helped clarify a number of complex areas for us. Together with a useful online tool he shared with us, it allowed us to come to a decision we were comfortable with, and even though it meant no fee paying work for Andrew this did not prevent him in supporting our decision making process.

He invested the pension and gave sound advice on future finances in real terms. With his help I was able to take early retirement from a very stressful teaching job.

Yes most definitely. I am making life changes which I never thought I’d be able to do .

What could they have done better?

Perhaps a little advice on how to tackle that HMRC as I had a few problems when transferring from a job to a a pension there was some difficulty in trying to explain that I was not working and the predicted salary for the tax year was way over what I was actually receiving. It took 4 attempts for an advisor to see what my actual income was! If Andrew might have given me some prewarnings and strategies I might have been better prepared. I understand that this is not part of Andrews jurisdiction but maybe this might have happened to some other of his clients and he could have given a prewarning that these types of things happen and what I could have done.

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

We had reached a stage of our lives when we needed to look closely at planning for the financial future. Also, changes in pension laws mean this seemed to be a good time.

How has Andrew Tucker helped you?

Firstly, Andrew emphasised the importance of ensuring all finances were included in the plan so requested we submit a detail financial situation document. This in itself was useful as we were forced to perform some self-analysis! Secondly, he spent a great deal of time producing a model for the future then presenting that model in non-financial terms we could understand. He showed how some simple changes would affect the model and gave us some good advice including moving an old pension into a better scheme. By being able to model specific time-critical events, income and outgoings could be balanced in the optimum way. The most important thing Andrew did was to give us more confidence that our financial future should not be such a worry! Andrew has always been there for advice when any of our financial situation changes.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The ability to withdraw some funds came at an opportune moment so we are pleased with the outcome so far. We also anticipate even better outcomes in the future.

Absolutely. Andrew's advice has enabled me to obtain the ideal scenario of a regular income to tide me over until my occupational pension kicks in.

What could they have done better?

In all honesty I cannot think of anything that he could have done better. He is very easy to get hold of (and always rings back promptly if he is temporarily unavailable). He completed all the paperwork on my behalf and provided me with regular updates on progress until everything was in place. He is now my 'go#to' adviser and I anticipate we will be seeking his advice again shortly.

We never discussed charges. I preferred to start by asking what was being offered. we had a full discussion and both decided that I was too experienced to benefit from his services. So this is the only reason for not using his services. I was impressed by the scope of the discussion and his willingness to acknowledged that his services did not match my needs. He did not try to oversell. I am confident that to a less experienced investor he would add value and focus on clients requirements.

We contacted Andrew to help with retirement planning and so far have been working with him for nearly three years.

He takes time to make sure that we fully understand his proposals and their implications.

He also seeks to increase his knowledge of financial products and develop his professional qualifications, expertise and skills. He demonstrates an awareness of the financial and economic climate and the possible impact of this climate on my financial investments. He is impartial and always has good reason to support the advice he offers.

There are times when the technical language used to explain any particular investment option/product can become very confusing. It could be helpful for Andrew to more frequently check that his clients are understanding the technical language and following his line of thought.

We contacted Andrew after being disappointed with our original advisor who seemed to put his own interests before ours. As a consequence our portfolio was a mess. Within a short time Andrew had reorganised everything and our pensions, isa's & unit trusts are now much easier to track and understand. In all the years we have known Andrew we've had complete faith in his judgement regarding the best place to invest our money. In that time, although we have been through the recession, our investments have increased far beyond our expectations. We feel Andrew always seems to be in front of the game recommending anything new that he feels will benefit our portfolio. At the same time he explains any risk factor that may be involved. We are now near retirement and feel safe in the knowledge that Andrew is drawing up a regular income plan that should take us well into our old age. We would highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for someone who is very knowledgable in his field of work. He is friendly and, above all, explains everything in layman's terms.

Where necessary he is happy to go into considerable depths, but equally capable of generalising a situation. He has shown appreciation of the wide financial disparities in our family and has established a good rapport with the least advantaged of them. His Rotary Christmas puddings are much appreciated!!

Offers cup of coffee, on arrival, comes to meet you himself on your arrival. Always looks clean tidy and efficient. If he cannot answer a question there and then he will endeavour to find the right answer before you leave the meeting. He is able to discuss your concerns, finances etc in the allotted time for your meeting without running over or making you feel you must rush things as there maybe other clients waiting to see him. Andrew himself does however know how to talk!!! If you can not reach him in his office, his team are very good and will pass on messages to him , so that he will phone you more often then not the day you wished to speck to him, but no longer then 36 hours later.The clause here is Andrew is as good as his team behind him.

What could they have done better?

Having only been with Financial Planning Solutions for just over a year, it took 3-4 months to set up the investments etc, so as yet I don't know if the advice Andrew Tucker has given to me, is as productive as hoped.So I find answering surveys like this a a bit of a farce, especially the first few questions. What could Andrew do better- offer another cup of coffee. It would be nice if someone from Fiinancial Solutions could set up the home computer so that computer dummies like me can access my portfolio on line. However for his personality, confidence in what he does I would recommend him to anyone needing financial advice.

Twice a year our financial situation is reviewed and the findings explained , until we can understand them and then analyse our options and if needed take corrective action of things that are outside of our control . We are confident that our needs are being very well looked after and in a safe pair of hands ....

What could they have done better?

By using the last visit as the latest bench mark, all gains and losses can be quickly reviewed . Do we understand the reasoning for the performance , is it acceptable ? Yes and we will give it another 6 months until the next review and use colours . Green is good , like our traffic lights - amber is a warning . Red we have a problem , if the performance is not acceptable then corrective action needs to be taken and instead of waiting 6 months , have a quick snap shot in 3 months to ensure all is well . We do not want any nasty surprises , or at least , keep them to a minimum - time is not on our side .

Having explained my financial circumstances, Andrew prepared a very detailed future financial planning statement. In addition, due to my father's bereavement there were several timeline issues which needed to be accounted for. This has resulted in a revised financial plan which was prepared quickly and efficiently. Having understood my risk adverse statements Andrew recommended both medium and low risk share opportunities for investments. The financial planning and future investment strategy is still ongoing and the next stage will be vital to my investment portfolio. On past evidence, I am confident that Andrew will provide timely and appropriate advice.
