What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
our previous adviser left his job.
How has Kevin Iles helped you?
Kevin has listened very carefully to what we feel our investment needs are and understands our attitude to risk. He is able to make a very complex subject of investment more easy to understand. Kevin has helped us to become more organised with our finances.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
So far we are very happy.The products and Kevin services are well suited to our needs. Since having Kevin as our adviser we have looked more carefully at our finances and the most appropriate ways for us to invest. Kevin is a good listener and has always understood what we have said we do or do not want to invest in.
What could they have done better?
We do not have any constructive criticism to offer. Kevin is always very helpful, supportive and doesn't push us in a direction we do not want to go. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in his dealings with us.He makes a very dull subject interesting and never leaves us feeling like we are idiots.. Kevin is always on time, very smartly turned out and completely honest and trustworthy.He is just the right person to deal with our finances. We highly recommend him and hope he will continue supporting us for many years to come. He is worth his weight in gold.
