Tracy took us through all the questions we'd need to answer for a mortgage application, and helped us consider options of which we hadn't thought. After our initial consultation, various mortgage options were presented to us quite quickly. Fantastic service so far.

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

After being married for a number of years and with our first child on the way we wanted a complete and comprehensive financial review into our financial affairs covering investments, life insurance and protection, mortgage and pension. We wanted to ensure we had the most competitive products from across the market which met our individual circumstances.

How has Tracy Bissett helped you?

Tracy initially took us through a comprehensive review ascertaining the current state of our financial affairs right from cash savings through to our pension and life insurance provisions. She also took the time to assess our appetite to risk and our working knowledge of financial products on offer to ensure the suite of financial products she would end up recommending were tailored to our individual circumstances. With review complete she then made a financial plan looking at the best options for a stocks and shares ISA, Income Protection in the event we can no longer work due to sickness, accident or permanent disability, Family Income Benefit in the event of our death as well as Life and Critical Illness protection. All protection products were also put into trust after Tracy explained the benefits in doing this. She finally also organised a new 5 year fixed mortgage after our current one was coming to an end and put my Stakeholder pension into a better performing fund. We now enjoy peace of mind as well as regular financial reviews to ensure the product we have still meet our needs and aspirations for the future.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We now have much greater reassurance that the protection policies we have in place will ensure a sound financial future for our family should the worst happen. Also despite the ups and downs of the markets the investments in our stocks and shares ISA have performed admirably. The re-mortgage has also given us a considerable saving over what we were previously paying. The ongoing yearly financial reviews continue to give us the reassurance that the products we have continue to meet our needs. Everything we took out was clearly documented and Tracy helped us with the necessary paperwork. I’ve also found Tracy to be easily contactable to discuss issues which come up throughout the year via telephone or email.

What could they have done better?

The level of our protection policies were drawn up using a set budget, but it would have been useful to see how small alterations in that budget e.g. an extra £5/£10/£15 would have altered the protection levels available. It’s obviously quite difficult to gauge just how much you should pay for these policies at times.

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

Originally the reason was to sort out my various private pensions, but that was extended when I took early retirement to develop a retirement plan.

How has Tracy Bissett helped you?

She re-organised my private pensions into a single flexible pension product and offered advice in re-arranging some of my portfolio to suit my new situation. She also maintains a detailed record of my portfolio of investments including those I manage myself.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, all investments recommended by Tracy have performed very well in the last 6 years.

What could they have done better?

With changes in taxation on unearned income being implemented this tax year and next I am not sure we are fully on top of the situation, but this is partly my fault as well.

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

I found that I had lost track and management of the financial products that I had purchased over a number of years and circumstances had changed with my pensions, etc and I wanted an advisor to review the situation and advise going forward. I also wanted a single point of contact for future financial product advice and management.

How has Tracy Bissett helped you?

Tracy reviewed all products, queried my circumstances & expectations. Where possible products have been consolidated or changed to best suit my needs with a longer term strategic view in place. Full explanations were given on why a change of product was required and more relevant.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Most definitely. I now have control and visibility of all products and am fully aware of my product portfolio, giving me confidence and satisfaction for the future. I have been able improve quality and value on some products through Tracys analysis and knowledge of the financial product marketplace.

What could they have done better?

I sincerely have no suggestions to make. Fully satisfied on the service given

Tracy has been involved with our Company Pension Scheme for over 10 years, and I have been witness to her professional development from a Pension Administrator through to a full-blown Wealth Administrator & Company Owner/Director. She possesses the ability to communicate with all levels of staff, which is essential when dealing with a Company Scheme where salary levels and personal circumstances vary greatly. She also has proven expertise in providing tailor-made options when members have specific needs and risk requirements. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tracy as a Pension Advisor, in fact, I would STRONGLY recommend it !!!
