Inadequate advice from previous advisor, beside limited choice of investments

Thomas has increased our overall investments for our risk factor and divided different investments between my wife and self.

We have the increased assurance and peace of mind that Thomas has full consent to buy / sell or change our investments when his experience and knowledge influences him.

What could they have done better?

Nothing ! my wife and I have 100% Trust and confidence in Thomas ,he alleviates unnecessary concern over our investments . We know if there was to be anything major with the stock market and it's volatility, we can rely on Thomas's experience and knowledge to minimise any problems.

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

Our pensions needed reviewing and we also needed advice and guidance to help us prepare for our future retirement.

How has Thomas Dalton helped you?

Thomas helped us to understand the options with our current pension arrangements. He also took into consideration our positions as directors and owners of our own company. He liaised with our accountant to gain a good understanding of our financial position and our aspirations for the future. Nothing was rushed, he was incredibly diligent and patient and at all times makes us feel that he has our best interests at heart.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely, we now have someone extremely competent looking after us in an area that we know nothing about and who is willing to act as a sounding board for thoughts we have on future investments.

What could they have done better?

Nothing at all. Thomas is honest and open, he recently explored a thought we had for a Company investment scheme and after a lot of research and time spent on his part, he identified and advised that it wouldn't give us the returns we were hoping for, this was despite the fact that it could have been beneficial to him.

Thomas performed a fact finding exercise on my current mixed portfolio of company and private pension schemes. He then reported back and advised on the pros and cons of each scheme, in a clear and understandable language and provided a strategy for each of them. He was also very accessible and helpful and provided effective ways of working together during the current pandemic and kept me briefed on progress at all times.

Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Thomas

I am naturally sceptical of financial advisors, how do you know they can be trusted etc.? I was looking for a pensions advisor to reassure me my pensions were doing fine and whether I needed to change anything. When I spoke to Thomas on the phone he was very clear about how he worked, and any potential charges before we met. I had an initial meeting for around 1 hour where we went through my pensions, Thomas explained anything I was unsure about in a clear way that I could understand and the result was a couple of changes which were straight forward that I could do myself, with some advice from Thomas. As he was not going to do any work for me he did not charge anything for this initial meeting. Thomas is a very approachable, friendly person who I have no hesitation in recommending to someone looking for financial advice. I have kept his contact details and if I need a financial advisor in the future he is the one I will go to.

As regards Thomas absolutely nothing ,he communicates regularly by email any worries he may have or volatilities in the market despite him having carte blanche over our investments. We also have home visits from Thomas where he goes through our investment portfolio explaining various and current issues ,especially with the political unrest and Brexit. He has given assurances that our exposure to market volatility is at a minimum.

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

Thomas has provided excellent advice and support. He fully understands my financial position both currently and my plans for the future financial arrangements. Thomas is always respectful and professional and takes time to fully explore and explain the information we are discussing. I have every confidence in the advice that Thomas provides and trust that our investments are in safe hands. I would highly recommend Thomas as an independent financial advisor to others.

How has Thomas Dalton helped you?

Thomas has helped me to identify the most appropriate options for investing our pension lump sum which I feel is safe as well as offering appropriate levels of growth. Thomas has greatly helped me in planning for retirement ensuring that I am well prepared for this. Thomas also supported me to identify the most appropriate options for investing inheritance income.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I am confident that the outcome of the investments and plans we have agreed with Thomas will achieve their potential over time.

What could they have done better?

I really don't think there is anything that could improve the service that Thomas has provided. I would and have highly recommend Thomas as a financial advisor to others.
