Retirement and low returns on cash investments.

By accepting that I was risk averse and securing a stable income for retirement and improved returns on my savings.

Yes. I have peace of mind, a regular income and an investment strategy for the future.
What could they have done better?
Nothing. Martin is very professional. He responds promptly to any queries I may have, his paperwork is beautifully and accurately presented, leaving little for me to complete. He has been very reassuring in turbulant financial times.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I needed a adviser who I could trust to help me with my pension ,understand my worries and help me feel confident im making the correct decisions for myself.
How has Martin Johnston helped you?
He is explaining the ins and outs of my pension and paperwork , when it comes to me needing to make the right choice especially with myself who I must say knows very little about pensions and find a lot of what I read very confusing .
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Overall Martin has been a great help to me for some time now and im sure the outcome as things progress will turn out to be the best i could have hoped at that time.
What could they have done better?
At the moment I can say quite honestly I cannot think of a single thing.
