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

I was looking to appoint a local advisor over twenty years ago when I became self employed. I was looking for steady long term growth in my pension savings so that I might be able to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

How has Alan Drysdale helped you?

Over the years Alan has kept a close personal eye on my investments which have changed as my appetite for risk has changed. His personal service has helped me through the inevitable ups and downs.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. My target fund value has been reached and I am comfortable with my risk exposure.

Alan:

Thank you for the very positive review of our services. Its good to know that you have been happy with what we have done over the last 25 years and hopefully for many years to come!

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

Approximately ten years ago I was looking to consolidate a number of pensions and came to Alan for advice.

How has Alan Drysdale helped you?

Alan managed the process of consolidating these plans into one and based on my risk profile has invested and managed by portfolio accordingly.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I’ve seen far better growth via Alan’s management of my portfolio than I had with the previous individual funds.

Alan:

Thanks for your 5 star review, it is much appreciated. 10 years! I look forward to helping you over the next ten years! Regards, Alan
