What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My current ISA was consistently losing money a situation that required fixing but I didn't possess the knowledge to know how to correct the situation. So I looked for someone to advise me.
How has Graeme Inglis helped you?
Graeme helped me by advising me to move my ISA to a new provider (as my current one wasn't preforming well a fact backed up by other sources), completing the application form so all I had to do was sign it, and fill in the Direct Debit Mandate.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
As my new ISA is in process of being set up I can not say if I seen the outcome I am hoping for with regards to investment growth, rather than loss.
What could they have done better?
Nothing to say here.

Lack of professional knowledge about financial arrangements
How has Graeme Inglis helped you?
Assurance and confidence......and his realistic assessment of financial situations in the UK. In these difficult and confusing times, he continues to be frank and open as to the current financial situation.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes and No.....I think that this is a ridiculous question, given how the Covid pandemic altered normal working systems; and how the acceptance of Brexit has fractured ...at the least... the wellbeing of the devolved nations. The only aspect of 'YES' here is that, hopefully, the devolved nations of the UK will see the denial and, indeed, the betrayal of Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland by the alleged 'devolution' that has ever been incorporated in the Union of the Parliaments (1707). (An aside: there is considerable irony in the fact that the English crown of 'Good Queen Bess' was inherited by the Scottish James VI (of Scotland) = James Ist (of England)....as it has now led to a once-sovereign Scotland becoming a minion amongst nations! This, above all, has relentlessly diminished both the potential foresight and judgement of any financial adviser.

Inheritance and investment of pension lump sums
How has Graeme Inglis helped you?
He has made recommendations on investment plans for inheritance and pension lump sums. We had little or no experience in this and greatly needed this input.

Suddenly had a lot more money to look after following my retirement. Graeme was, thankfully, there to help advise me with this new problem.
