I started a business and needed pension advice having previously been in final salary public sector schemes

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

Andrew provided me with advice regarding pensions and insurance that has allowed me to meet my retirement aims.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Definitely. Andrew was clear that I would not be able to match my public sector scheme benefits and we created a plan that allowed me to retire at the time I wanted with the amount of money I needed. This was regularly reviewed and amended over the eight years I have been a client of Andrew's to make sure that I could meet my objectives.

Very little really; I have completely achieved the plan that I created with Andrew in 2015 and we will continue our business relationship moving forward for a number of years.

It’s rewarding to hear that the pension and insurance advice we provided has helped you achieve your retirement goals.

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

I left full time employment with a good pension and needed to ensure that my self employed income could be deployed to provide for a safe retirement.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

By ensuring there was a solid base to my financial planning to meet my goals; by reminding me of the importance of an appropriate level of protection in self employment through various insurances - without ever giving a hard sell for any specific policy; on at least two occasions by providing me with advice that resulted in paying less tax or ensuring that my National Insurance contributions were at the required level; by providing me with other contacts in the financial planning world (e.g. for capital gains tax advice) who have proved to be very helpful. And of course by having a good chat about skiing, dogs and holidays!

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. I asked Andrew to help me plan for about ten years of work before being able to access my retirement savings - turned out to be nine years of work and can access my retirement savings exactly as planned.

What could they have done better?

Not sure there is anything obvious - I have found my interactions with Andrew and the team at Vizion Wealth to be excellent.

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

I had quite a large amount of money just sitting in bank accounts and very little financial knowledge but knew I needed to put it to some use.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

I had several meetings with Andrew discussing what risks I was willing to take and what I wanted in terms of financial security in the future and over four hours (two separate meetings ) he explained various options to me in very easy to understand language (I'm definitely a words not numbers person) and then created a plan for me that fitted everything that I was hoping to achieve without taking more risks than I was willing to take.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I've just had my first six month review and I'm very happy with the outcomes thus far. I wish I'd got in touch sooner.

What could they have done better?

I can't think of anything I would improve with Andrew and his team's service and recommend them to others.

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

Once retired I realised I needed Professional advice and help to look after the pension pot and maintain that pot to ensure I lived comfortably for the rest of my life. Initially I went with one of the large platform providers, I then realised they are all things to all people. I knew of Andrew so I went with Vizion Wealth, where I have received excellent service and personal care.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

He has helped steer my finances, through good and importantly the turbulent times(downside). The resources Vizion are able to employ have kept my investments sheltered during the rocky ride of 2022. The investments are constantly checked and changes made to the funds to ensure any losses are limited but better still the funds grow.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Once again 2022, has been a roller coaster ride for investments / funds, so the outcome for this year has been pretty good.

What could they have done better?

Its difficult to judge, I guess we would all like to do better! Maybe be on top of poor performing fund managers and initiate switches more timely

Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Andrew

The Vouchedfor entry for Andrew (or rather Vizion Wealth) says he can provide Specialist Pension Transfer advice. This is not the case.. My contact with Vizion was a complete waste of my and their time....

Andrew:

Dear John, We apologise if there was a misunderstanding with the services we provide. As a firm myself and my business partner both hold the pension transfer specialist qualification which is displayed on our Vouchedfor profile. However, due to changes in the professional indemnity insurance market, maintaining an authorisation for defined benefit advice has become near on impossible for smaller independent financial advisers. Therefore, we now partner with larger defined benefit specialist to provide this advice where prospective clients are looking for independent defined benefit advice which was provided to you. We are surprised you have decided to leave a 1 star review in this scenario, however, we have taken onboard your feedback and will remove our pension transfer specialist listing from the Vouchedfor website. Many thanks Andrew Flowers

Andrew has given me clear and effective advice on the best way to configure my pensions, and provides ongoing support to make sure my investments are performing and consistently outperforming the relevant benchmarks, Andrew has also provided good advice on inheritance tax planning and has overseen the set-up of some bare trusts for my children and grandchildren.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

So far so good!

What could they have done better?

Some of the regulatory trust administration has been extremely burdensome - not the fault of Vizion Wealth, but it would have been useful if we could have avoided this or done it a different way.

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

I had investments with St.James' Place. I explored the possibility of using an independent Financial Advisor in my local area and decided upon Andrew Flowers of Vizion Wealth. It meant I could see and speak to my financial advisor. Although not entirely unhappy with the St. James Place, I was made aware by Vizion Wealth that my investments with St. James' Place were limited to a smaller availability of investments than those offered by Vizion Wealth.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

Enormously. Andrew Flowers (Vizion Wealth) has gone through all of my financial affairs with a fine tooth comb and, more especially, will continue to do so to keep my affairs in order and advise me accordingly.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Given the unfortunate global and UK financial situation right now it is not possible to predict. However, I have every confidence Andrew Flowers (Vizion Wealth) are working in my best interests.

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

I needed help with my finances, I knew with the complexities of managing money, it would be better to put this in a safe pair of hand from a trusted advisor, taking out the worry of trying to manage it myself. Obviously we all want our money to grow, but it's having trust in your advisor that is just as important.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

I knew Andrew from a previous employ which was a large "supermarket" platform business where my money was invested, yes there was some security in this type of business but it felt you were a number. When Andrew started his own business I waited some time for him to establish, I then migrated over to his company. What was I looking for ? a company who would give a personal touch and make you feel comfortable, one that you believe are honest and trustworthy. One that would keep you informed with updates to your financial position and also supply you with newsletters about the markets and company news about the team. Finally you want to see your money GROW, I get all of this from Andrew and his team at Vizion, a complete rounded service for which I'm very satisfied.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Despite the economic challenges of the past year and months my finances are in good order and keeping pace with my initial investments after drawing down, so yes I am happy with the outcome to date. Andrew is building a good company, employing good staff across all disciplines with the right levels of expertise.

What could they have done better?

Not only to keep my fund investments above their various benchmarks, but to challenge Vizion to go one step further to pick funds that would be star performers in their relative fields. To ensure all charges are kept to a minimal.

Andrew:

Dear Colin, Many thanks for taking the time to review our service and complete a review. I'll pass your comments on to the team which I'm sure they'll appreciate. I look forward to meeting up later in the year. Regards Andrew

We had previously used a large investment firm to manage our pensions and shares, but had little to no contact from them during the time they held our portfolio. Andrew Flowers was recommended to us based on how well he manages his customers and equally the time he takes to feel you feel valued.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

Andrew immediately recommended we take time to meet to ensure our mid and long term investment would provide the retirement we would like. He has steered us away from some of the funds that were delivering little return and also provided advice on insurance products that gave us better piece of mind.

Complex tax and investment arrangements are explained in depth in a manner that I can fully understand. I always feel my pension is in safe, and that arrangements maximise the the growth in my pension pot! The twice-yearly face-to-face review is informative and changes explained clearly. I also started a consulting business and Andrew's advice on tax, share structure and what can and can't be done was valuable and proved to be correct - I was set on the right path from the very start.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Certianly, yes. The tax advice and the management of my pension fund has more than paid for the services from the Vizion Wealth team. My pension fund has consistently outperformed industry norms. Even during the unpredictable period due to Covid, my fund has continued to perform well with no adverse impact.

What could they have done better?

In the early years I was issued with a comprehensive written report and the update of my personal circumstances was done manually.

This has been more time efficient for me and I can access my financial plans in real-time without having to trouble the team at Vizion Wealth.

Pending retirement

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

We have been using Vizion Wealth for retirement planning and investment successfully for a few years now. From the very first meeting Andrew and his team have been professional and clear about our options. The quality of the information, verbal and written, is superb and allows us to understand and feel confident in this often complex area. Would highly recommend.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. We are able to understand and feel fully involved in decisions and investments based on information provided, and have seen a good return on investment.

What could they have done better?

There are no suggestions I would make at this time.

Thank you Carole, it's been pleasure with with yourself and Tony towards your retirement goals.

Andrew:

Dear Mr Willett, Thank you for your review of our services. I have been informed that you spoke to one of our financial advisers, James Blackham, who explained that I was unavailable for a few days but he was happy to assist. I understand that James listened to your requirements and provided guidance where he could as well as also offering to provide full holistic financial planning advice which we do for all new clients to ensure we provide comprehensive and bespoke advice for each client. I understand this was not the type of financial planning advice you were looking for, however, if you do require further help or guidance, please let us know as we are happy to assist further. Regards, Andrew Flowers

Yes. The pension was transferred to an investment fund. There has been a full review of the performance of the Fund and given the nature of the investment there will be short term transient effects but these are to be expected given that it is a long term investment.

I was looking for a coherent strategy to investments and pensions, My existing advisor didn't give me any confidence that there was a clear end game.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

Andrew did a full analysis of both my and my wife's multiple pension schemes, investments and income and provided a detailed breakdown of each investment. From there he helped us plan an investment/pension portfolio that will give us the income we need when we retire. He helped us amalgamate most of the investments into the Transact investment portfolio which gives us a single place to monitor our investments which is the first time we have ever been able to get a clear picture.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Being able to see a clear analysis of all our investments has been a revelation. It gives us a great way of planning for the future. Andrew's understanding of our aspirations and income coupled with his huge wealth of experience in investments means that as I near retirement age I am not worrying whether I will have enough invested for the future.

What could they have done better?

I can't think of anything. Far, far better than any other advisor that I have used. In my experience past advisors have never quite convinced me that they are operating in my best interest - Andrew convinced me from the first time I met him

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

We looked into changing our financial arrangements so that we had sufficient protection for ourselves in the case of an accident, injury or loss of income. We were also looking to ensure that we had sufficient pensions and savings to cover us in retirement as well as the expected expenses what our growing children would expect to incur in the future such as marriage and their first house purchases.

How has Andrew Flowers helped you?

Andrew met with us both and reviewed our current financial arrangements. A very thorough review generated some interesting options where we were clearly shown what was and wasn't working for us in our current arrangements. We were able to clearly understand a path forward and stopped some policies that had not provided any where near the returns expected to date and where we benefited from moving these funds under other arrangements that we either had in place or where introduced to by Andrew. We found Andrew to be very knowledgeable and honest with the advice we were provided. At no time did we feel pressured into doing anything and where our arrangements were working currently he recommended that we leave them in place. We are a busy family so the fact that Andrew was able to fit in with us for face to face meetings was really appreciated.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We have reaped some benefits already and can see the returns generating on the overall investments that have been made. We feel that we are much better protected for the future and the continued review of our arrangements means that we feel much more comfortable in moving policies to protect us for the future.

We have been with Andrew since the start of his business,our investments have increased in value every year ,we meet every six months to update the plan and he carefully explains how he would like to move the plan forward , adhering to our level of risk,but changing the plan to adapt it to maximise future returns. He always listens to our concerns and adapts the portfolio to fit into our future spending plans. He clearly has a very good understanding of the markets and the products available that best suit our needs.

What could they have done better?

Andrew could have reviewed our plan when there was a major change in market conditions before our six monthly review, this may have increased returns even more. However our agreed contract was for a six monthly review.

Andrew conducted a thorough review of our finances, and did a huge amount of work sorting through the many pensions and assurance policies we have accumulated over the years. He asked us to consider our financial objectives for the future and identified gaps and savings we hadn't even considered. He spent a lot of time explaining various options to us and did so in a way that was easy to understand. He clearly explained risk factors and together we came up with a financial strategy that is so detailed we can see how our economic situation should look at any point in our, and our children's futures. Thanks to Andrew we now have a clear picture of our financial situation and much improved, and better value Life Assurance policies to replace the inadequate protection we previously had in place. We were extremely impressed with Andrew from the start of our first meeting and he continues to be on hand with prompt advice when we need it or have a change in situation. He's a really nice guy, we trust him implicitly and cannot recommend him highly enough.
