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

Capital and income accidentally exceeded my immediate needs. Had to do something with it, optimise tax position and invest for the long term. That was in 2000 and I have used financial advisers and wealth managers ever since, changing advisers when necessary.

How has Emily Brear helped you?

Emily took over last year from an adviser who I have known for 20 years and who advised me for over 5 years. She restructured my investment portfolio, immediately resulting in an increase in its value and hopefully resetting it for the long term.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Generally yes, but it remains to be seen whether the newly balanced portfolio performs in the long term.
