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

I didn't understand the opportunities available to me and needed someone to explain it to me in plain English which Gianpaolo did exceptionally well.

How has Gianpaolo Mantini helped you?

My advisor translates the industry 'speak' (otherwise known as pretentiousness) in an affable style that is both informative and relaxing. I come away understanding what is going on rather than, with other previous advisors, feeling I have gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson; my brain used to go to mush. I believe he is genuinely independent giving the best advice as he sees it. I really can't ask for more.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

Gianpaolo was very reassuring and I think he will be able to help my family. Probably the reason we didn't get to discuss charges is because my family's circumstances are very upsetting for me.

After just one first meeting and several emails, my impression is he's the most knowledgable financial advisor I have met (of very many), inkling the legal technicalities, and able to clearly explain these. Clear of his contractual arrangement with you,

How has Gianpaolo Mantini helped you?

He is very patient and gives detailed explanations of the various products under consideration. He understands my situation and attitude to finance very well and does not press me to consider anything which would not conform to this. Our meetings are always followed up with written summarie

What could they have done better?

He can sometimes assume more understanding on my part that I actually have. However he is very ready to explain more and does not stint of his time. I always come away from our meetings satisfied that I have received sound and appropriate advice.

Gianpaolo has been very helpful and advised me well when I started my small investment. He was clear on my options, making sure I understood what I was getting into and explained each step carefully. He is very easy to get in contact with and replies very quickly to questions also via email.

As his business is booming, he needs seriously to train younger assistant to leverage this approach widely, help suppliers reducing paperwork as each project is generating huge volume of papers which need to be signed and stores...

He's highly professional and proactive in communicating to us changes to policies and services available which would benefit us. I could not recommend him more highly.

I'm not business or finance orientated myself, so get a little confused with the terminology. Perhaps, using more generic terms in describing the subject to me would be more helpful!
