What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I wanted to retire early and use my investments and occupational pension to allow me to travel abroad.
How has Ross Smith helped you?
He was positive and encouraging. He kept the ‘plan’ simple recognising my needs. He gave me enough information and options to make an informed choice without bamboozling me with jargon.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely! With Ross’s advice and careful management of my money I am still travelling and am confident I will be able to do so for many years to come.
