This review was gathered whilst the adviser was at a different firm.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I needed advice on what best to do with a number of occupational pensions I had accumulated during the course of my career.

How has Anthony Howell helped you?

Anthony took time to do a holistic review of my finances and suggested a way forward with a view to achieving my objectives in the future. His approach was unpressurized and cautious, and transparent about the risks associated with investing and how to try and mitigate these as far as possible over the medium to longer term, whilst also considering the tolerance of my circumstances to financial risk; also my personal attitude toward risk.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

So far I have been pleased with the outcome of the advice received.

What could they have done better?

I feel Anthony if anything will emphasize the potential negatives of an investment decision rather than over inflate the potential gains. Rather than feeling he could have done better, for myself it was useful in reviewing my investment decision based on Anthony's advice prior to committing to proceed with a revised investment approach.

Excellent and thorough service, located and obtained information on all my pensions. Anthony provided me with information on the contents of the pensions he located, making it easier for me to understand what I have, as that was my main concern, not knowing what pensions are where.
