What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was looking for someone to help me out with long term planning, including pensions and savings.
How has Rachel Stewart helped you?
Sound, sensible advice. She knows her stuff! It is also good to have regular check ins so as circumstances change, you can plan accordingly. I introduced others in my family to Rachel, so it's comforting to know they are looking after themselves too.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I feel much more confident that I am taking steps to secure my financial future - not taking a scatter-gun approach and hoping for the best that I used to! Really, it's too important not to take professional advice.

Rachel:
My professional obligations and duty of care to you as a client, require me to seek a review no less than annually. This review is in your interests to ensure the investment is performing as expected in the circumstances and that there has been no regulatory changes, product updates or circumstantial changes which would require an amendment to your plan. Whilst there is no obligation to meet with me, I am sure you can appreciate that I am obliged by the regulations I operate under to contact you to notify that your review is due.
