Mr Bailey, London

My adviser weighed up my needs and lifestyle very thoroughly and efficiently and was constantly upbeat despite my having only quite modest means. She was right on target with ideas and showed an excellent understanding of my situation, allying this to an upbeat and friendly attitude which inspired confidence and assurance.

It was my accountant who recommended SFIA to help me organise my pension. My adviser has been very helpful in describing – using layman’s terms – the various options and pension products available and scheduling yearly catch-up meetings to review pension performance and changes to the fund.
