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

I have known Maxine for over 10 years. I sought advice about a personal pension review and consolidation.

How has Maxine Clarke helped you?

Maxine undertook an entire personal pension review on all my individual pensions. Following tji review advice and guidance was given how best to maximise my personal pension status.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, and it was absolutely worth the time and money to complete that process. My pension is now earning me money and is also safe. It is reviewed yearly.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. The advice given is always well informed, considered and gives me options to discuss and agree the best way forward for my situation.

Maxine:

Nicky Thank you so much for taking time to review my service to you as an adviser and how it has helped you in seeking advice on financial matters to plan your future. It gives me great satisfaction to know that we can work together and to know what is important to you both and being a part of your journey towards easing into and planning for retirement.

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

Deciding to opt out of a company pension scheme that looked like it was heading into financial difficulties.

How has Maxine Clarke helped you?

Transferring out to an E-sipp Personal Pension after going through pro's and con's with unbiased recommendations. All risks were explained well with regards to the investments and growth or possible losses. Risk profile assessments and reviews of personal finances were undertaken to ensure suitability of services and all costs fully explained.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Having reached a drawdown stage with my personal pension it was definitely the right decision to opt out my old company pension. The ability to take out lump sums and choice of monthly drawdown are great and I was advised of their effect and sustainability of the fund before taking any monies out. My investment has grown more than I expected, considering the tough worldwide financial times of the past few years.

What could they have done better?

I'm satisfied with the regular reviews, financial assessments and growth of the fund. All replies to help or queries have always been very prompt. Overall a good experience with no real negatives.

Maxine:

Steven Thank you for taking time to review my advice and overall service and I am pleased that all our planning and working together towards retirement has paid off and given you the freedom to fulfil all your plans and spend more quality time as a family and enjoy what you have both worked for.

The need for a financial plan review of pensions and investments

How has Maxine Clarke helped you?

Maxine is a lovely caring person, she listens very well, has an uncanny knack of asking you questions that you had never thought of asking. She asks loads of questions, listens, goes off and researches; and comes back with a strategic plan, taking account of our values, ethics and objectives. And when life does not go to plan, as it does for us sometimes, Maxine is just a phone call away, for her to ask us her inevitable sound objective questions, helping us (coaching us) to make wiser financial decisions.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Maxine has advised two generations of our family, and will soon be advising the third. For my parents she excelled, the outcome was amazing. And for us, we are very happy.

What could they have done better?

Continue being you.

Maxine:

Thank you so much for your kind review, good service really means everything to be able to deliver that to clients and its a privilege to be able to advise you in your journey and to have your trust in me as your adviser

We have absolute trust in Maxine as she has been our adviser for over 20 years and her vast knowledge of the funds available, inheritance tax and pensions have enabled us both to retire early.
