Initially yes, as we are all aware, since Covid the markets have been volatile for various reasons and the value of the investment has fallen. This is understandable, but I look forward to Susie taking advantage of the recovery.

How has Susie Laws helped you?

Very good to work with building a high degree of trust with us. See above.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Partly, the advice is focussed on my needs rather than flogging new products to get commissions which I suffered with my former adviser. On the downside my pension , Company and ISA assets were passed to Fiducia’s in-house managers and I am not convinced they have always added value compared to the alternatives. The advice on other investments placed outside the in-house team have been very pleasing such as the VCTs and the Octopus investment initially used for our Company investment before that closed.

What could they have done better?

The bias towards the in-house investment team may limit a desire to recommend alternative investments.

Having worked freelance as a self-employed marketer and writer for many years, I've not set in place the pension and security that would have come from working for a firm that runs a pension plan.

I made appointments with a few of the IFA's I had selected. I had a checklist and questionnaire and Susie came out top on my requirements. Once we agreed the terms we progressed to completing the pension transfer.

Yes, except that as soon as we were at the committed, no turning back stage, Susie was offered a better job elsewhere and left.

Not leave. In reality, I managed to complete the rest myself, with the help of the office administrators. I am now back into a professional relationship with the new company that Susie has joined
