Support through difficult times

The past six months have been very difficult due to family illness. It has been reassuring to know I can consult with my adviser.

I have not been able to participate in seminars during this time.

We are happy to continue with the present Portfolio and the investment returns. Given that the current economic situation is very volatile.

What have you done differently as a result of working with Equilibrium this year? Jason and Diana are aware of my wife's Alzheimer's and the significant cost of keeping her in a care home.

Andy is very personable and always takes the time to explain everything and answer any queries that I have in detail. He is very approachable and I trust him to advice me to suit whatever my circumstances may demand. Despite the horrendous situation of global Covid at the present moment, Equilibrium have succeeded in keeping portfolios healthy. That must be a great achievement!
As an aside, we do enjoy the hospitality days as well!!
I am also impressed that they rank so highly in the employer of the year charts.. very impressive..( any chance of a job..?!!?)

Constructive and structured session - addressed all of the points I had raised prior to the review.

I was disappointed not to receive any minutes of the meeting

We agreed on one action (from memory); which was to 'close' the x2 AEGON Cofunds policies that Sara and I have previously transferred into Equilibriums managed portfolio. Both accounts have a nominal value of <£2 each.

Continuity

5 out of 5 stars

Our relationship with Equilibrium is approaching it’s 10th anniversary and we feel that the continuity of Andrew as our advisor over that period has been very relevant and significant. He and our client managers have developed a total understanding of our circumstances, views and objectives which has enabled well-prepared and constructive reviews and forward planning.

Confidence in Equilibrium results in less worries about my investment.

When the global markets fell in March 2020 I was initially worried that my investment had lost so much that it may never recover. My concerns were greatly eased by the approach that you took and the confidence you expressed in videos and messages that 'everything will get back to normal'. How true that prediction was.

I can assure you that the whole team has been working hard behind the scenes and we would of course have been in touch more frequently if the need arose. I believe that your 6 month review meeting is due to take place very shortly during which Paul will happily discuss the level of contact you would like going forward. - Debbie Jukes, Head of Client Care

Back in 2013 I looked for a new Financial Advisor having had a poor experience with two - talk a lot, bluster even more, didn't listen to what I wanted, delayed taking action having requested prompt action - so I looked at Equilibrium with a slightly jaundiced eye. Since I signed up in late 2013 I've been very pleased with their attitude, their service level and their results. Little more that I can say, other than please keep up the good work.

Regular personalised communication and an interest in our opinion. In these worrying times you seem to have offered us a meaningful commentary on the possible effects of the pandemic on our investments - as far as you are able to do so. A prompt and well researched response to our enquiry about setting up a fund for our new granddaughter. Some relevant and accessible articles in Equinox.
