Alan has a rare understanding of how the world works and how money affects events and vice versa. My intuition led me to him, after I realised my last IFA's grasp of finances wasn't to be trusted in the present climate. Alan explains matters clearly and responds quickly to concerns - he is very generous with his time and knowledge. His investment advice paid for itself within a month of shifting investments through Lazenby's - we know investments can go up or down, but this was a complete turnaround for me. He should have his own show, but in the meantime, if you're looking for an IFA, look no further!
