Good Morning Folks
I have 2 pensions with previous employers to which I no longer contribute.
I recently spoke to an independent financial advisor (recommended by a friend) who suggested that I combine these 2 pensions and put them in an investment which he recommended, because according to him, future income growth would be far greater than what I have now.
Do you suggest that I speak to another 2 or 3 independent financial advisors and then compare the results of each before deciding which investment to put my pensions in, or do you think I should take the advice of this financial advisor and go with the investment that he had advised, since he is independent and has access to the whole market?
Thank you.
It might be worth speaking to another if there is only a small fee, it depends really on whether you trust the one you have spoken to.
