1, A pension I needed advice about. 2, I was considering selling a house I no longer needed.

How has Alex Turco helped you?

My partner uses Alex Turco so I was able to discuss these issues informally with him for a year or two before I made a decision. Once made Alex sat down with me and thoroughly assessed my finances. He then came back with an excellent plan and a forecast of what I could realistically expect. Once my house was sold everything was in place and I was able to transfer the money within a couple of days. All the way, Alex was able to answer all my concerns and offer really sound advice. It's been rather like dealing with an old friend. I also feel his charge was entirely reasonable given the time and work involved.

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

I had financial advice previously from other companies and individuals which was very poor. I was recommended to use Alex and he has been excellent in giving me advice and makes me feel confident that he is doing the best for me, given my circumstances and financial situation.

How has Alex Turco helped you?

He has given me very sound guidance with respect to investing sensibly, to provide a sound income in retirement and in utilising tax breaks and efficiencies to maximise my gain.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Outcomes are so impossible to predict, I would have liked greater growth from my investments and pension but we have had Brexit, Covid, cost of living crisis and more than one economic downturn that has meant smaller returns than I would have liked. However I seem to be in a fairly secure position now and hopefully will have sufficient income in retirement which is down to sensible investments.
