What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I had a large amount in bank accounts and didn't feel that the returns I got were very good. The bank staff were very helpful, but could only offer their own products.
How has Ross Foxall helped you?
Ross advised investing in products that gave better returns than bank accounts, but were still in an area of risk that I found acceptable. In addition, he gave advice on managing the funds I already had in a private pension.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I have been a client of Ross' for about twenty years and have seen my investments and pension fund perform in a way that I am very happy with. I am now retired, and am confident that my savings will give me more than adequate cover for the foreseeable future - this is certainly the outcome that I wanted.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My late husband and I probably first looked for a financial adviser after I inherited an estate from a family member in 1988. Then we were advised within a City investment bank. We met Ross some years later when he was working for another company and he advised us for a number of years. Some years later when he formed his own company we were pleased to have him advise us again. My husband died in 2014 and I have been very grateful for his expertise ever since.

Long term investment/savings and retirement/pension planning.
How has Ross Foxall helped you?
Over a period of more than 10 years Ross has helped me build a balanced, tax-efficient, savings portfolio which has achieved my savings goals. More recently, his consideration of pension provision directed me to further specialist advice (provided by another recommended by Ross) that has led to a highly beneficial re-arrangement of my pension savings. Regular reviews, where investment performance is monitored and the nature of investment/savings products are explained have been an important featue of the service provided.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes - a balanced portfolio has been achieved, which has provided tax effcient saving whilst I was working and has allowed me to achieve my goal of early retirement.
