To get professional advice and long term financial planning on my pension and investments.
How has Mark Watson helped you?
Took time to understand my personal situation and my goals, and built a sound financial strategy around those for the long term
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Currently too early to see an impact, however with the volatility in the markets I would have been worse off if I had delayed the decision to follow Mark’s advice.
