Adrian has been my financial / wealth adviser for more than 10 years now. I was introduced to him at a time in the middle of my working life, when I needed some good advice regarding my savings and investment strategy and planning for future retirement.

How has Adrian Hanger helped you?

Adrian has provided consistent and reliable advice during this period and he has greatly assisted me to organise my various investments and workplace pensions into a coherent aggregated portfolio, with an agreed suitable risk profile that has provided me with confidence with respect to my investments' growth and tax efficiency and also for planning the transition from full-time work into increased retirement over a period of several years.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. Despite periodic turbulence in the financial markets across this period (including the current Covid pandemic), my portfolio has seen steady annual growth on average and is now such that I can comfortably contemplate setting a retirement date and with a degree of certainty about the level of my future income and tax position.

What could they have done better?

The financial sector seems full of baffling technical jargon and financial concepts that can be hard to understand for people who don't work in this sector on a daily basis; while Adrian's advice is always clear, there may be some merit in including a short glossary or similar in the formal reports issued by SJPP to aid understanding by a non-technical reader.

Adrian's reply

Thank you so much for the feedback, it is truly a privilege to be part of your financial planning journey and I am delighted to have been able to provide a long term financial plan to reassure you that your hopes and dreams can be met in retirement. Enjoy it when it comes.

Very much so. The advice given by Adrian has proved to be very beneficial and continues to be so.

I cannot think of anything Adrian could have done better. He has a great deal of knowledge in financial affairs and is always able to answer questions clearly and succinctly. He is a professional and very positive person which I find to be very reassuring especially in these trying times.

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

I wanted to review my old company pensions and understand if they were invested properly and if they were going to be enough to fund my retirement in fifteen years.

How has Adrian Hanger helped you?

I was really surprised at how much detail Adrian could provide about my pensions and he prepared a forecast of how much my pension would be worth or the rest of my life if I continue to contribute existing levels. He demonstrated that in order to achieve my retirement goals I would need to alter how my pension is invested and how much more I need to invest each month.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I am very relieved we did this exercise, I know a lot more about my savings and investments.

Adrian's reply

Thank you for the feedback, we will keep monitoring progressing annually to make sure your plans are on track.

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

Getting older and having some savings started me on the road to financial planning. Inheriting a bit of money made me very glad I had taken the step. I've one dependent and I want to help them, but not to jeopardize my own future.

How has Adrian Hanger helped you?

I met Adrian as a client of another Wealth Management firm. I was very happy with the care he gave then and had no hesitation following him into his own enterprise. Adrian provides me with an ongoing financial strategy to fund my lifestyle and plan for retirement. He keeps in regular contact and takes time to discuss his recommendations. Adrian is very approachable and has taken time to get to know my circumstances and wishes. He is happy to explain things when I feel uncertain and has not been thrown when I have an extra request or need for advice. He has been good when my circumstances change and it is a relief to be able to talk to him about the future. I feel confident with his service and am very happy to recommend him to others.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I feel I get a personal, but confidential, service.

What could they have done better?

To be honest I'm not sure there is anything. I'm not always good at understanding things, but Adrian is happy to take the time to explain things.

Adrian's reply

It is always a pleasure to guide you and I take personal comfort that you can see through our Financial Cash-flow Modelling how your investments will sustain your hopes and dreams in retirement. As ever, thank you for your trust.
