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

I needed to transfer a pension fund into another account.

How has Matthew Isaacs helped you?

The world of pensions is a mine field. A complete novice like me does not have the first idea of where to go and what to invest in. Matthew was brilliant at explaining things to me. A great deal of time and care was taken in order to find a suitable investment that matched my needs. Matthew realised this was a new venture for me and went over things as many times as I asked in a calm and reassuring manner. The outcome being I am very happily invested in something I feel confident and entirely happy with. Matthew is always there at the end of the phone and will come to your home to see you if you prefer.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Matthew reviews my policy and keeps me updated. I am very happy with the growth of the fund.

What could they have done better?

I am totally happy with all the advice Matthew has given me.

A meeting with him more often to discuss and explain how our investments are doing .

Matthew was great at dealing with my enguiry, I had a basic understanding of pensions and a rough idea what I required. He took a very indepth history from myself, so he could build a good picture of what i required and what really would be best for me. Also Matthew dealt with my Dads pension that was due to pay out. I am really not a risk taker and he fully understood that and provided myself with a great pension that was just right for me. He explained everything in detail so I understood. I was fully aware of any charges that I may of incured.

What could they have done better?

I really could not provide any suggestions, the service I recieved was excellent.
