Based in Hampshire

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

At 75 I needed a financial advisor to assist me in investing my work pension so that I could draw a regular amount to supplement my state pension. For a while, Arthur Childs was that advisor. When he semi-retired, he recommended Sarah.

How has Sarah Arora helped you?

Sarah is a true financial advisor. She readily answers all our queries regarding our Investments - and will give general advice on other aspects of our finances, such as savings. She has competently facilitated any withdrawals I have made from my pension.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. My investments have often made more than the predicted return, enabling me safely to make those withdrawals already referred to.

What could they have done better?

We are not that au fait with the world of financial investments but Flying Colours do their best to keep us informed with regular emails and videos. Sarah has fielded any puzzling emails with ease bringing helpful reassurance.

Based in Berkshire

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

Entering retirement I found that it is now a requirement to have an Independent Finacial advisor before the major Pension companies would release Pension Scheme monies.

How has Sarah Arora helped you?

I approached Flying Colours, based in Ascot at the time, and Sarah was excellent at reviewing my various Company Pensions and devising a strategy to maximise my Pension income. Despite the financial downturn, Covid and pressures on the UK economy my Pension scheme pool operated by True Potential has grown by an average of 4.5% over the last 5 years far exceeding the major Pension providers growth

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The Pension fund growth has been exceptional given the general Financial Markets downturn. Flying Colours and True Potential are ahead of the game with their Financial advice and investment decisions. The fund growth is enabling me to take a good annual income drawdown without eating into the Funds capital amount.

What could they have done better?

Not a lot.

Initially I had another IFA and then Flying Colours took over his clients. I had one who quickly left, then Sarah became my adviser. I wanted advice in how to manage my money most tax-effectively and to invest within my profile well.

Sarah has outlined in various charts/projections the variable that are within and outside my control. She has been great at looking at the options and ensuring I am comfortable with the decisions I have made. She is also very approachable and meetings are a good experience.
