Advice received from our Family SME company accountants suggesting I & my wife would benefit from a financial advisor, and provided a few recommendations of different advisors for us to consider.

Our family has trusted Depledge Strategic Wealth Management Ltd with our financial future for years, and it is one of the best decisions we have made. They took the time to understand our family dynamics, multi-generational goals, and personal values, including our small property portfolio, and privately owned SME-family business. Andrew Day and his Team, does not just manage our wealth; they give us peace of mind. We always feel heard, respected, and securely guided through every major life transition. Depledge operate with integrity, transparency, and professionalism at all times. This included taking our complex financial situation and turned it into a clear, actionable roadmap for retirement for my wife and I, our two daughters & our grandchildren. With their help our portfolio has grown significantly, and resent guidance and approach to tax and estate planning with recommendations. which is especially important to us in advance of the pivotal changes to pensions and Inheritance Tax in 2027., which now includes our newly established lifetime Trusts. Depledge completely transformed how our family approaches financial planning. education.

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

Consolidation and future management of various occupational pension plans.

How has Andrew Day helped you?

I have known Andrew Day for several decades, during which time he has provided financial advice and managed my pension plans, latterly with Depledge Strategic Wealth Management Ltd. His detailed knowledge has been exemplary in navigating the intricacies of legislation and the markets and he has overseen a healthy increase in the value of my pension portfolio; he was particularly helpful during a difficult period with a major pension provider, over technical and mismanagement issues, averting a serious loss to myself.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

What could they have done better?

I am not aware of anything that should have been done differently.

Andrew:

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a kind and detailed review. It has been a real privilege to work with you over so many years, and I truly appreciate the trust you have placed in me throughout that time. I am especially pleased that I was able to support you at an important stage and help safeguard your pension. It is also great to hear that the consolidation and ongoing management of your pensions have delivered the outcome you were hoping for. Supporting you over the long term and helping you feel confident about your financial future is always my aim. If there is ever anything further I can help you with, please do get in touch. I look forward to continuing to work together in the years ahead.
