What our clients say
I had a substantial sum of money that I wanted to invest rather than leave it sitting in my savings account with a low rate of interest. Shona assessed my needs and advised on an investment plan that was consistently performing well and provided a degree of security I was comfortable with. My initial investment grew by over 6% in the first year resulting in me adding to my investment this year.
What could they have done better?
Nothing. Shona explained everything very clearly and I am more than happy with the service she has provided me with.
Amanda, Glasgow
Needed a capital investment following house sale. Provided risk assessment and recommendations with regular follow up reviews and possible changes if appropriate. Yes over the last few years the advice given has proved to have a positive result.
What could they have done better?
Nothing -advice, service and admin have been excellent

Frank, East Kilbride
I was retiring and needed advice on my pensions. Shona listened and took time to understand what I wanted to do before talking me through my various options and explaining the implications of them all. I have now retired and arranged my finances so that I can live comfortably in retirement.
Margaret, Ayrshire
Shona exudes a quiet efficiency which inspires confidence in her client. She is also extremely patient in answering questions and is obviously well on top of her job. Her advice, pleasantly given, has proved very sound and well-worth taking. She deserves to be successful!

We have worked with Shona for over 3 years now and in that time we have found her very helpful, easy to work with, very knowledgeable and proactive in finding and maintaining investments to suit our needs.
Mr & Mrs C, Kilwinning
I contacted Affinity IFA Ltd who explained the various investment options available to me. The subsequent recommendation was fully explained to me in a manner I could easily understand. I would have no hesitation in recommending Affinity to my family and friends.
E Dyet, Troon
In my dealings I have found their help and support invaluable, all business carried through in a personal ,professional and competent manor. Since our initial home meeting I have secured a pension that has doubled the monthly income quoted through my Employee Pension forecast, and have continued to use their wide ranging expertise reviewing my personal investment and housing needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Excellent customer service.
Mr Jackson, East Kilbride
Shona puts me at ease and uses terms I understand which is why I trust her to be my IFA.
