I was hoping for a speedier result (but this was not Sanjay's fault ) perhaps my expectations were too high for the transfer 'timeline'.

Looking for an Annuity

How has Sanjay Gambhir helped you?

Submitted an annuity figure for me and outlined financial advise he could supply if I decided to go forward with him.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

No because after weeks of consideration I decided to obtain my annuity from a different provider.

What could they have done better?

Nothing really. I believe that the fee for the service was reasonable considering it included the setting up of an annuity, and additional financial advice. Unfortunately, the annuity offer which I accepted from a different provider was over £4000 annually more than Sanjays quote and was to good to dismiss. Furthermore, there was no fee to pay as this was payed to the annuity broker in commission by the annuity provider

Sanjay explained everything about my pension to me in a detailed and understandable way,I felt comfortable with his honest opinion regarding my questions

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I wanted to change my DB pension into a DC drawdown pension to assist my early retirement plans.

How has Sanjay Gambhir helped you?

Sanjay took all our financial information and future spend requirements of our planned early retirement at age 55 (at the time I was 52 and my wife was 50). Sanjay evaluated the CETV of my existing DB scheme to confirm it was a good offer and then with his profiling tools was able to confirm a DB transfer was in our best interests for our early retirement plans. My wife has a DB pension (18 years service) so this complimented my transfer. I would say I have a higher than average knowledge level of pensions and retirement plans but Sanjay held our hands through this life-changing decision with clear projections and illustrations and at no time were we pressured into making a decision.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We have the outcome we were hoping for with the DB transfer completed (to Royal London drawdown plan) and Sanjay also helped me move some smaller DC plans I had to the same Royal London drawdown plan. Sanjay has further helped us move our Royal London plan within the Royal London options to one with less exposure to the stock market now we are getting closer to 55.

What could they have done better?

I cannot see what Sanjay could have done better as we are 100% satisfied.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Nothing I can think off very professional and easy to deal with.

He provided advice on my transfer but more importantly stayed in contact at every stage and explained the process all the way through. Regulation states that you have to pay for the transfer advice even if the advice is to stay with the final salary scheme. This concerned me but a very detailed abridged advice report was completed to ensure that a transfer would be suitable.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. The final salary scheme was transferred

What could they have done better?

I don’t think anything could have been any better. They provided great advice and reassurance at every stage if the process. I have a further final salary scheme as has my wife and I will use Sanjay again when I am ready to transfer this scheme. Excellent adviser and company. I would strongly recommend them.

Not much really -

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I wanted to move my work pension to another provider, so that I could more closely manage it.

How has Sanjay Gambhir helped you?

Sanjay reviewed my financial position, my expectations for the future and provided product possibilities to consider that were in line with these expectations

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes - one of the products that Sanjay brought to my attention fits with my expectation. Sanjay helped to set up the product behind the scenes which was very helpful

What could they have done better?

As the process that I followed reached the conclusion I was expecting then I find it difficult to find real negatives. There is a fine line between not enough communication and too much (and feeling pushy) - but I would suggest that the final stage of the process (ie once the decision to progress / transfer has been made) is promoted more as part of the service, and that the client is then given step by step communication of what is occurring behind the scenes

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

Required a transfer of final pension

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

Having reached 55yrs old I wanted to semi-retire so that I could provide childcare to my 2yr old Grand daughter. Looking at the figures on my HBOS Final Salary Pension, I had resigned myself to seeing retirement as not an option until my state pension started at 67yrs old, and even then I would probably still need to work! A friend recommended Sanjay and suggested I give him a call. He spoke very highly of Sanjay, having utilised his services in relation to his own pension.

How has Sanjay Gambhir helped you?

With great professionalism and an empathic understanding of my situation, Sanjay reassured me that my situation was one that he had dealt with numerous times before. As a professional he didn't give me any false hopes or misguided expectations, Sanjay was straight talking, honest and informed me of the process we would need to go through before an outcome could be determined. At every stage of the process Sanjay was on hand to offer guidance and advice, either by phone or email (which he always replied to promptly!) . Sanjay's calm, professional and knowledgeable approach, his 'no jargon' talk and willingness to answer every question I had so that I was 100% clear in my understanding, kept my expectations grounded and realistic.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I have just had my HBOS Final Salary Pension transferred into another pension and can now reduce my working week so that I can spend precious time looking after my Grand daughter!!!
