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

Inheritance from my parents

How has Rudy Smith helped you?

Rudy has given me good practical advice, carefully explaining on the best options for investing money from an inheritance and then a pension lump sum, plus ongoing savings from my salary. The only reason I have not scored him higher with regard to recommending him is I know he is retiring in the next couple of years.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

So far, yes. What may happen in the future given present events depends on things not even Rudy can change, but I’m sure he’ll give me good, constructive advice.

What could they have done better?

Just occasionally I need to ask Rudy to go back and recap because I need the facts a little bit slower to follow them. But Rudy is always good about doing this when asked.
