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

Reaching an age some years ago when I needed advice about my various private pensions.

How has Tom Fawcett helped you?

At the time the only option was to set up annuities which he organised for me. He also advised me regarding dividing and investing other money inherited plus the money left over as a result of my husband and I separating, selling our family home and purchasing 2 separate smaller properties in cheaper areas.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes although I wish it had been a few years later when I could have drawn down some of the pensions capital instead of it all being set up in annuities.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. Tom was very helpful.

How has Tom Fawcett helped you?

Put a plan together where the income is not impacted when sharing with my wife - also set up an ISA for each of us

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Initially yes but the global financial issues have hampered its growth over the last couple of years but because the investment is ultimately spread across a large number of institutions and companies the impact is less than had I left the funds in my old pension

Not knowing what to do with my finances and felt I needed expert investment advice. I also needed advice on my pension. Tom came highly recommended through a colleague.

Tom explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He asked many questions and I felt he was very thorough and thoughtful about my personal situation. Tom was always quick to respond and would visit me whenever I felt I needed to see him to go over my portfolio.

Having used Tom for a number of years my investments have grown to a level I feel very satisfied with and I feel confident in his recommendations.

Maybe a regular 6 monthly date in the diary for a review. But on the whole I know I can call Tom and he has always been available to me.
