Chartered Financial Planner
What our clients say
He listens to the client needs & whilst making his professional recommendations, he doesn't try to impose his own ideas
Mr and Mrs Willoighby Crisp, Verwood
At our regular meetings, Simon reviews our situation and goals, and advises accordingly. He understands are attitude to risk and our future aspirations.I have been a client of Simon for a number of years, and have always found him to be approachable, and I trust his judgement.
Mr and Mrs Almond, West Moors
I required advise for investments and pension. Simon gave me excellent advice and explained the pros and cons of different investement and pension options extremely well. I'm more than happy with the outcome.
Mr Carroll, Lymington
We needed advice on what to do with pension funds and some savings investments on retirement. Simon fully explained the various options available and looked at our finances as a whole. He made sure we understood everything and we were then able to agree a long term strategy. Everything has been handled well. Investments and income are as intended.
Mr and Mrs Fairweather, Wellow
Having taken a career break from work with 2 different pensions and investments, I needed professional advice to consider the best options for management of my finances. Simon provided an extremely thorough and detailed analysis of our current situation and ensured that he fully understood our requirements before offering his clear and well considered advice. We were particularly impressed by Simon's professionalism and his focus on listening well, offering potential solutions and balancing it all with a clear exposition of risks and opportunities. His service is in marked contrast to that which I have experienced before and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. We now have a well balanced and well managed portfolio and have already seen significant financial benefit that amounts to many multiples of the fees paid to Simon - the best value for money service I have paid for in a very long time!. I found his service to be excellent throughout.
Mr and Mrs Borland, Salisbury
I had several old dormant pensions from previous employers and wanted to sort them all out and see how I was from a retirement income position. Simon took all the details of the old pension companies and got in touch with them to find out the amounts in each and how they were performing. He then asked me how much i thought I would need to retire comfortably and using this information he proposed moving all the old pensions into one and also contributing to it regularly to achieve the pension required. I am now thanks to Simon in a position to achieve a financially secure retirement and also this goal will be annually monitored so I will always know how i am doing. I am very happy with the result of the consultations and will be staying with Simon as my financial adviser and strongly recommend him to anyone else looking to do the same.
Mr and Mrs Bowler, Southampton
We have known Simon Lipscombe for several years during which he has given us sound advice. He has contacted us when there are good investments to be made, follows the financial market for our benefit and regularly reviews our financial position. We have an annual meeting which normally takes about 2 hours. He is a pleasant gentleman and very enthusiastic in his approach and in our opinion does an excellent job.
Mr and Mrs Scragg, Verwood
Simon is always very professional and takes time to explain sometimes quite complicated and in-depth financial issues, which is great for someone like myself who is not that savvy about pensions and implications at retirement.
Mrs Jones, Verwood
Simon has always been a great adviser for us. He has the ability to explain financial issues so that we can understand them. We have an annual review but know that we can contact Simon at any time by phone, which we have done on several occasions.Simon is very friendly, but also professional and extremely efficient. So far any advise given to us by Simon has had good results, even though the economic climate has been poor.
Mr and Mrs Davidson, Lymington
We have known Simon for several years as a financial advisor. He is thorough, efficient and competent. He is a pleasure to do business with. He carries out what he undertakes to do. He explains things well and inspires confidence in his judgement.
Mr and Mrs Blake, Lymington
Have always found Simon to be most helpful, and considerate in my dealings with him. He explains the aspects of Financial Planning and Investments in a way which can be easily understood, and would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Mr and Mrs Veal, Lymington
We found Simon's explanation of our financial plan very thorough. Everything was made very clear, including his charges and of what they are comprised.He is both personable and professional.
Mr and Mrs Johnston, Chandlers Ford
We asked for a Life Financial Plan on our retirement. Simon listened well, obtained a clear picture of our current financial state, and provided an excellent planning sheet to role-play different scenarios for the future. We therefore feel comfortable with the plan we agreed on, and the investments he has recommended and put in place.
Mr and Mrs Oldrey, West Moors
Having been advised by Simon for at least 7 years We have had no cause to be concerned by his advice and recommendations. He has taken us through two partnerships until he formed his own. Each transfer went without incident to our satisfaction.
Mr and Mrs Price, West Moors
Simon is very professional and very easy to talk to, he is also very approachable, helpful and patient and will go to great lengths to explain a situation when I can not fully grasp it. An all round good egg and I feel he is extremely trustworthy.
Mrs Hill, Cadnam
