To get the best out of the money invested.

How has Joe Rogers helped you?

By monitoring and advising. Looking at options and discussing ways forward.

Not entirely but that is due to the fluctuation in the markets and what happens in the world.

Perhaps more frequent communication between the yearly meetings relating to how things are changing to give confidence when things are not so positive.

We used the parent company for taxation advice over many years and progressed to transferring pensions to Joe’s predecessor and then Joe when he retired.
