What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Support given to husband and I by previous IFA ( from 2006 ) , when widowed remained as client until their retirement . Portfolio then moved to Argentis.
How has Jared Brooks helped you?
From our first meeting I have found Jared to be friendly and approachable . His advice has proved to be appropriate for my situation and has resulted in acceptable returns.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
See above.
What could they have done better?
The vast majority of contact with Jared has been very positive , polite , friendly and helpful. Face to face reviews very valuable. My dealings in finance have been limited so , when given information I need it to be clear and relatively simple , without too much jargon. Some verbal and written feedback has occasionally made this difficult and I have had to ask additional questions ( sometimes probably unnecessary in finance eyes) during meetings and in emails. As I am aware , when passing on legal /financial information one has to appreciate that the client is on the back foot !
