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

I had a Financial Advisor provided by my previous company, however I liked Brian's clear explanation of what could be regarded as complex. He is very knowledgeable and I trust him 100%, something that is not always the case in this industry. I also liked the fact that Beaufort have the support of their own Fund Manager, who clearly knows his onions.

How has Brian Davies helped you?

Brian has been my IFA for the past 9 years, initially helping me consolidate different pension schemes and offering general advice about investments. He has been an invaluable support to me many times, giving general advice on other matters. As I say I totally trust that he will provide the right advice for me, as opposed to his own gain. I have neither the time or the knowledge to monitor the stock market, and so I believe it is the right thing to do to outsource the management of one's finances to someone you can trust.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

My investments have grown exponentially since moving across to Brian 9 years ago. Thank goodness I met him, I'm not sure where they would be had I stayed with the previous IFA!

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

I was questioning whether keeping my defined pension scheme was the correct planning. I realised that i wasn't making the most of my savings from an investment point of view . This was given added impetus when I received an inheritance.

How has Brian Davies helped you?

Brian was very patient with my investment ideas and sometimes my cautious deliberation over decisions. He also explained different strategies and did not guide us to a particular route, as he let us both come to our conclusions that we were comfortable with. In regards to my pension Brian was completely transparent and advised me that my company pension should be left where it was.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Brian and his team have been thorough and have kept us very much in touch over the last turbulent year through a variety of measures, personal zoom chat, webinars with the investment team and one off calls if you have any investment concerns.

Brian collated all the pension pot funds and obtained valuations. Based on the types of pensions and values Brian recommended not to move my end salary scheme but to merge two others into a new fund.

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

I had released equity from my London flat to purchase a property in Kent. I then rented the London flat out to tenants.

How has Brian Davies helped you?

In reviewing the rental income and cost variant over the previous months, Brian was able to calculate what the return would be should I sell the property and invest the funds. At no point did I feel under pressure to make any decision, Brian was merely showing me, in a simple and clear fashion, what comparison of the returns would be with both options. It was very clear the returns would be far superior if I sold the property and invested the funds. It became a very simple decision.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Completely. I now have returns that I would have had to wait for many years to realise should I have kept the funds in the London flat. Brian, and his team, have won my trust and confidence. Without hesitation I recommend Brian and Beaufort to friends and family, several of whom are now happily following his advice.

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

There were a few reasons why I decided to look for a financial adviser in 2020: 1. I am 59 and wanted to plan for my retirement years 2. I was concerned that my savings weren't keeping up with inflation due to rapidly declining interest rates over the past few years 3. I wanted to simplify my finances 4. I finally had the time to find the right financial adviser due to lockdown and being furloughed

How has Brian Davies helped you?

Brian took the time to learn about all aspects of my financial situation, my lifestyle, attitude to risk and plans for the future. This process was done steadily, thoughtfully and professionally over a period of several months before arriving at an investment and pension strategy that I was comfortable with. Brian's expertise, and relaxed attitude, made the whole daunting process an enjoyable experience.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

My investments only went "live" a few months ago, so it's too early to tell due to my investments being mid to long-term. However, I feel confident that the outcome will be good.

What could they have done better?

I honestly can't think of anything.

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

in 2002, when our daughter was 5, my wife went self-employed as a consultant. She employed an accountant and it was she who mentioned she had heard good things about Brian, then a young, up and rising IFA. We took to each other from the start and are now pleased to be amongst his oldest clients. Beaufort Financial, of which Brian is a principal partner, provide a top-end and top quality range of services, nobly assisted by Shane Balkham, Chief Investment Officer at Beaufort Investment, who had had remarkable success over the course of many years now.

How has Brian Davies helped you?

Brian has helped us over a period of 20 years now with every aspect of our finances and, now, those of our daughter. He has helped us find great mortgage deals, grown our pension pots beyond our expectations, given us excellent advice on inheritance planning and issues like equity release (don't!). He always goes out of his way to explain everything clearly and has successfully challenged a number of our thoughts and plans and found better solutions, whilst preserving our overall desired direction.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We have had ups and downs with our finances as a result of life choices we have made but Brian has consistently sustained us with his calm, practical and very knowledgeable advice. The result is that, despite our attempts to derail things, the position we find ourselves in now, as we approach retirement, is that our financial position is far better than we had hoped.

What could they have done better?

The service provided by Brian and his company is very high quality and personal. I honestly cannot think of anything Brian could have done better, though he claims not to like paperwork (fortunately his wonderful PA, Marianne, keeps him up to the mark !)

I have been meaning to review my pension for a few years now, but always reticent due to the fact that you are always worried about who you are dealing with and there is that important issue of trust. That is why I went to Brian as you have none of those worries. Amazingly Brian managed to track down an additional £100k’s worth of pensions that I didn’t even know I had. He provided brilliant advice too including recommending not moving one of the pensions – he works totally in your interests. Brian listens to your needs and helps you plan your financial future and that is absolutely invaluable. I would strongly advise recommending Brian to anyone you know who wants to review their pensions and finances, he is brilliant at what he does.

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

I had a number of occupational pensions, gathered over the years, that I wanted to combine.

How has Brian Davies helped you?

Brian took the time to go through each one with me and discuss the best option, individually and collectively. There were one or two that we left and others that we combined into one pot. I was nervous because these are funds that you can't regather easily, so I needed to feel confident that the advice I was being given was good advice, and right for me. I had one more recent pension that was reasonably sizeable (for me) and I kept that back initially. But once I realised the benefits, I have asked Brian to combine that as well.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes! I receive regular updates from Brian and his team, and meet face to face on a reasonably regular basis to review performance and discuss any potential additional steps we might need to consider. I am delighted to see the growth of my pension pot which is much easier to manage now it's all in one place. I couldn't be happier!

He also has the ability to explain concepts in a way that makes one wonder why is seemed so difficult in the first place - a quality that can only be the result of comprehensive subject knowledge and appreciation of client aspirations.

Brian has the right combination of being able to explain his subject well, in a short concise manner, as well as having a personality! This personable approach and knowledge in his field makes him easy to recommend, which I have done on numerous occasions. I have full confidence in receiving the right information from Brian due to the fact that since moving my investments across, they have outperformed the market. Brian also holds 6 monthly seminars for all of clients, which have always been very interesting and useful.

How has Brian Davies helped you?

Practical and sensible advice , clearly based on personal circumstances. No hard sell or persuasion to particular products or decisions and I feel involved all the way. Great knowledge base and always good at following up on things. Brian is personable and approachable and delivers information in a style that I can understand.

What could they have done better?

At this stage I couldn't ask for more or different. I haven't sought advice on certain issues so cannot comment on business that I have not requested advice on. So far, all good.

Brian took the time to come to my home and was well prepared when he arrived. He asked me about my situation and requirements which was really positive, he wasn't interested in about what he had, more what I needed.

What could they have done better?

This is difficult to say, I could not suggest any improvements

Brian is a very personable adviser, he takes his time to understand the bigger picture before going away to check and make his recommendations. He is very clear about his charges and what his firm does and how they can help, mentioning all the areas of expertise their firm offers. Brian doesn't just talk work work work, meeting him is always a pleasure as he gets to know you and then advises you in your best interest. The main thing is that he isn't a salesman!!! He is genuinely there to help and guide you.

What could they have done better?

I'm not sure if I have an negative comments or criticism about Brian.
