What our clients say
Dear Dom,
It is now over six months since you began looking after my pension and investment portfolio.
You promised at the outset to provide an actively managed service that would be far more effective that the system the my previous IFA had set up.
Changing ones IFA could be described as a leap of faith. Not to dissimilar to changing accountants, banks and other sticky relationships. After hearing you talk about your experience within the financial markets, and you clear understanding of them, I was prepared to take that leap.
I wish I had done it sooner. You recently organised a review of my portfolio during which it was clear that me pension fund is growing much more rapidly than it had done before.
Not only that, but are helping elsewhere. I need a mortgage for a buy to let property that I am getting in Cardiff. It's surprising what changes have happened since the last time I got a mortgage, but you have made this all very simple.
Needless to say. I will continue using you to look after my financial affairs, and will recommend you and Aqua to others whenever the opportunity arises.
Kind regards
Tim H.
