What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Primarily my age and thoughts of retirement. I mentioned these thoughts to a close friend who recommended Chris.
How has Christopher Rainbow helped you?
He has been great. Firstly, he helped me with an exercise to locate all my current financial related outgoings. He took this information and formulated a plan to help me fund a quality retirement. Then after presenting this to me with careful explanation and receiving my agreement he has also pursued disparate pension pots held by pension providers to help me consolidate and invest more significantly.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
It's early days yet but I have been very impressed with the tax mark-up on my initial investment.
What could they have done better?
I honestly can't think of anything. I have been fully supported throughout the exercise.
