What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My wife and I had recently recieved an inheritance some of which we wanted to invest, and we also wanted to explore our retirement options.
How has Martin Joyce helped you?
Martin was able to examine our finances and pensions, as well as our hopes for future retirement, and show us clearly how we could afford to retire. He was also able to demonstrate to us our projected income for the rest of our lives, allowing us to feel comfortable about our decision to retire. He did this all in an honest, professional, and approachable way that gave us confidence about the information he was giving but also built a very real sense of trust in his integrity.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
In a year since our first consultation, based on Martin's advice, we have seen our savings and investments grow significantly. We have been able to make informed decisions about how and when to take our pensions. As we have begun our journey into retirement, Martin has provided us with a confidence in the future. I don't think my wife and could have expected any more than he has provided.
What could they have done better?
I would not say I can point to anything that I would want Martin to have done better. He has listened to what we wanted, helped us see what we needed, and given us excellent advice throughout.
