Replacing the don't know what I don't know with knowledge
At times of life, choices have to be made and thoughts marshalled. It's great to have the essential proactive help at those times, even when you didn't know you needed it.

6 month review to March 2021
The transfer and reinvestment were handled very efficiently from providing a letter of comfort confirming availability of funds to reinvestment and preservation of ISA benefits. Very well pleased with the advice and execution.

Worry free investing
Equilibrium have managed our portfolio for 20 years and we have been pleased the way our finances have been managed. Our adviser (Jason Lowe) and the few client managers we have had have been very efficient always taking agreed actions in a timely way. This has resulted in a steady increase in the portfolio value even though we have continuously taken a regular income from it. There is no need for us to spend much time in managing our portfolio and we do not need to worry about day to day expenses. Also we are aware that if either I or my wife dies or becomes unable to deal with financial issues the bulk of our investments are with Equilibrium rather than being spread over many financial institutions.

Caring, personalised financial planning.
Though Jason is my financial advisor I often deal with David West who is considerate and is happy to spend time explain things. Jason is easy to understand at annual reviews.
I have been surprised and delighted that young ladies, I believe receptionists, have taken the trouble to phone and ask after my welfare. These calls are friendly and just like a good chat. Some lonely people will be delighted with the caring side of their financial advisory firm.

Continuous improvement
Over the years Andrew has enabled us to progressively improve our tax position and reduce our risk profile. As a consequence of introducing our children to Equilibrium their financial security and also their children's financial security has been helped.
I wish to commend Richard Higgs , our Client Manager, whose work is accurate, reliable, timely and courteous.

Responsive and proactive - opportunities to stay informed
It's clear the team at Equilibrium have gone above and beyond to maintain and even exceed prior service levels. They have become fully digitally enabled in a short space of time, queries have been dealt with promptly and effectively and there's been a wealth of Zoom/Web enabled interviews / sharing of thoughts both from the team and external experts.

Kept informed by a focussed team
It gives us a sense of financial security in worrying times.
We are not seeking major gains but just that our portfolio keeps ahead of inflation and enables us to maintain our retirement income.

Straightforward and easy to understand advice in layman's terms. Clearly presented. The projected overview of my accounts presented as a graph is a very useful tool to be able to visualise and understand the value of my investments in the future.

We have always been pleased with the service we receive from Equilibrium but particularly so in the last 12 months during the pandemic. In the initial stages communication was extremely good and we are glad to say that performance has recovered well of late,
