What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was facing finishing work through ill health and didn't really understand my pension arrangements and how I would finance myself through 5 years until I could draw my works and state pension.
How has John Munton helped you?
John's advice was life changing. He consolidated my several pensions and obtained a much better offer from Aviva which allowed me to retire early and immediately on a comfortable income. As I neared my state pension age, John restructured my arrangements to protect me and my wife until the end of our life. First class service and I have recommended John to many of my friends.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, absolutely.
What could they have done better?
Everything from John was fine for me. Aviva's monthly communications are another matter.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
heading towards retirement, pension advice.
How has John Munton helped you?
knowledgeable guidance, clear explanations, very responsive to questions and needs. Reassured with our current strategy.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
When we first went for advice the financial market immediately spiralled into a downturn (covid, Ukranian war, Liz Truss budget) hence people in our risk category were experiencing greater than expected losses in fund values. We switched strategies and, following John's advice, are currently very satisfied with our financial situation as we have certainty for the next 3 years without worrying about potential further losses.
What could they have done better?
We are very satisfied with John's approach.

Please provide a brief comment about your experience with John
. I had recently resigned from my job due to ill health and John understood my circumstances and said he would look at my pensions to see what my options were. I couldn’t have wished for a nicer, patient person that understood why I needed to look into releasing some of my pension. He was very professional and worked very hard on my behalf.
John:
Thank you Jackie, it was a pleasure helping you and look forward to working with you again in the future.
