How has John Hinson helped you since your last review?
My dear husband Professor Alfredo Moscardini has recently passed away, that was unexpectedly and painfully fast for all of us. He has been a loyal client of Mr John Hinson for a long time. He always relied and trusted in John's professionalism and excellent human being qualities which are rather seldom these days. John helped me to deal with all financial affairs in a timely manner, always was available to answer all my questions and to support me providing his professional service. His empathy and support during this difficult time were beyond any expectations, and highly appreciated by me and the whole family.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I have money in bank from the sale of my property and I had money invested through previous advisors which was performing badly and losing money. One investment was almost half of the original amount when I met John
How has John Hinson helped you?
He reviewed all my investments and reinvested them in areas that were performing better. As a result my investments grew and although over the years I have had several withdrawals they still continue to thrive. John will advise when he feels they could improve in another area and will act upon this - he always ensures that my investments are performing to give me the best return
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, most definitely given the recent market conditions - my investments have "weathered" the storm
What could they have done better?
John's provides excellent advice and service and his clients needs are always foremost to him. In my opinion there is nothing he can improve upon or do better - just keep up the excellent service he is providing

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
At my retirement, I received a golden handshake which I needed to invest. I initially chose an advisor on the advice of my friend and the relationship didnt work as the advisor proved to be imcompetent which made very wary of financial advisors. I needed some one with knowledge and in whom I had complete confidence and trust. I was recommended John by my personal manager at Barclays bank
How has John Hinson helped you?
Investments can go up or down independly of the skill of the advisor. What is needed from an advisor is honesty, commitment and realiablity. John has all these qualities. Because of this, I listen to his advice and it is a great help to be able to discuss financial matters with an impartial observer.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I am extremely satisfied with the advice i recieve from John and my investments are all doing well
What could they have done better?
It is difficult to say how John's service could be improved. I have no criticisms at all
