How has Lisa Conway-Hughes helped you?

She helped me consider what I needed initially like a house purchase a car and holidays then and to plan my expenditure so good practical budgeting and then we looked at how best to invest the remaining money based on my appetite for risk.. she explained the options to me and we discussed their performance.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes the portfolio that Lisa has managed for me was spread across Several Platforms and it has made steady annual returns.

What could they have done better?

My only feedback is that I have multiple investments across multiple platforms and it’s easy to lose track of everything so it’s really helpful to have a summary sheet showing any encashments and annual growth. Otherwise I am very happy with how Lisa manages my investments. We recently reviewed my risk profile and increased the rating as I had gained more confidence as an investor. But next year I might be mire risk adverse in view of the challenging market forces.
