Identifying appropriate tax efficient products for our needs, having regard to our attitude to risk.

Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Alan
Alan has been advising me for over 20 years and I have found his awareness of my financial needs over this period of time very re-assuring. I am always pleasantly surprised how he is able to build and mange my portfolio so well that there is growth even when I know the markets are unstable. I am confident that my money investment is in safe and skilful hands.
Alan:
Thank you for your very positive review. I can't believe that it is 20 years! I am pleased that you have the confidence in us to look after your investments and look forward to the next 20 years! Regards, AlanReview

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Alan is already the adviser for the company I work for, has been for many years. I have finally grown a pension pot big enough to warrant some advice so, naturally, Alan was my first choice.
How has Alan Drysdale helped you?
Alan has done something I couldn't do, which is to look after my pension in a manner more professional than I could ever have done myself.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
So far my returns have been good and I am confident that my investements will continue to grow with Alan's guidance.
