Looking to seek advise on pensions as they were under performing and at risk

How has David Chew helped you?

David gave me advise on how to invest and use my pensions to get the best performance, he proactively manages them effectively for me and will advise if a fund needs switching due to showing signs of low performance

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Far exceeded my expectations and return has far out stripped where they were currently sat and under performing due to lack of proper fund management, the pensions that I had and were amalgamated by David. Annual return has been far better than I could have expected

What could they have done better?

David and his company were very professional, I cannot fault the service that they provide and can highly recommend them. Faultless experience which I find hard to improve

I realized I had a substantial amount of savings and an inheritance from sale of our family home. Then thought the banks were offering such a low return on my capital. This worried me as I knew to continue comfortably in my old age I needed to invest wisely. David Chew was recommended to me in 2015 and I have never looked back one day with any more fears even when the market was not at it's best.

How has David Chew helped you?

David took a great burden off my shoulder by setting up my portfolio. He walked me through all the financial language at my pace and made sure all questions were answered at a level that made sense to me. I felt that my portfolio was was in safe professional hands. Thank you David I am sincerely grateful and look forward to our next anual review.

How has David Chew helped you?

David Chew has been our adviser for approximately 5 years. We were both approaching retirement and we were aware that our finances were not working for us as they should and we were both apprehensive about our financial security in our later years. David reviewed our finances and advised us of our options based on the risk profile we completed and gave us advice after listening to our hopes and expectations for a happy retirement. We meet annually to discuss how our investments are performing and any changes in circumstances . The meetings are held in a friendly, relaxed setting and we feel comfortable in asking any question and confident that it will be answered honestly and professionally. David is always at the end of a telephone to answer any queries promptly and we have confidently recoomended him to friends and family.

What could they have done better?

We can say honestly that our experience with David Chew has been 100% positive and we cannot think of any improvements that could be made.

Dave has gone out of his way to look for the best current options that are out there in the marketplace when it comes to buiding my portfolio.

What could they have done better?

Maybe we could review things on a more regular basis, although the way things currently operate are fine.

I meet Mr. Chew once a year to discus what he has done with my investments, but basically just leave it to him to do as he thinks appropriate, and he seems to make very good decisions. He is also a nice bloke whom I must , and do trust,

What could they have done better?

I can't think anything I would change regarding what he's done for me.

Understands my personal circumstances and offers advice based on my needs and recommends changes when those circumstances alter. While offering advice is not pushy or tries to hard sell - the final choice is mine.

What could they have done better?

My financial adviser and his staff go out of their way to help with any issues I raise.

I have known David for many years and in all the time as my financial advisor, I do not believe that he has ever given me the wrong advice. He knows that I have some financial experience and tailors his advice accordingly, providing the strong back up research that I need to make the best investment decisions.
