In a sea of wide boys ands sharks Carl gave me clear honest advice, we discussed my my risk profile, available investment methods that matched to my agenda and age range, he provided, allowing me to choose my preferred investment approach.

Yes and more besides
What could they have done better?
Very hard question to answer giving the vast potential outcomes both positive and negative, Carl provided what i believe to be the best options available at the time.
