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

Considering retirement and wanting to take stock of our financial situation.

How has James Thompson helped you?

James really helped us look at our financial situation and explore our options for the future. He gave me confidence that I can retire and helped me make concrete plans for the futrure. He listened to our individual needs, preferences and plans and developed a strategy for us that is specisically tailored to our needs.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

What could they have done better?

I would have liked James to ask us about our understanding of and attitudes to investment before the modelling. I think this would have enabled him to give us more understanding of our options and tailored the strategy even more to our needs.
