Great advisor call

Had a financial advisor call with staff member Harminder Sahota, who was lovely, very kind, knowledgeable, funny and made me feel at ease when explaining. Highly recommend.

Always a pleasure…

It is always a pleasure to welcome our Foresters representative. He is knowledgeable and courteous, providing me with sound advice. I’ve been investing with Foresters for around 40 years and will continue to invest my spare cash in their products.

I opened my daughter a child trust fund from a very easy ,convenient Foresters Financial Company.
I highly recommend it as it’s now matured as she saves money on it then she can get also a benefit of £1,200 a year to go towards her university which it won’t touch her contribution in her child trust fund.
Customer service is so helpful and supportive on giving us advice and further more information about her money.

Complete fraud

Complete fraud. I never purchased a policy from this company and yet I was charged for 3 months (over $450). I made several phone calls and wrote many emails to request my refund. Last week, they sent me an encrypted email….yes, encrypted. I couldn’t open it. NEVER do business with these people.

Filthy Company

Dog shit customer service. Andrew Lilley has no time of day for people. Little to no growth over 4-5 years with them even with consistent monthly contributions. Never put more than 3 digits in any account with them either, this company cant be trusted. Read and listen to the other reviews. Little to no flexibility with your stocks, the accounts arent managed like they claim it is, and little transparancy on the stocks being invested into. If you decide to switch the transfer will take over 3 weeks with this company and they’ll make sure you leave with less money than you originally started with. In this decade there are much better, safer long term options and this company just hopes to use young peoples niavity to profit from. Do your research and switch.

Recent investment meeting

Cheryl provided informative advice to help me make the right investment at this time. We had time to discuss options and for me understand the risks and rewards. Thank you for a great service.

Investing With Foresters Financial

Lee Connor explained all of the options available to my daughter with her trust fund once she turned 18. He was professional and friendly and made sure she understood the different ways in which she could invest for the future, and the information subsequently sent through by email was detailed and concise.
I would thoroughly recommend Foresters Financial for looking after the investments of any young person who has money to invest.

Being a client of Foresters has been a positive step for our family. They have provided us with clearer information and a better understanding of savings and investments. We never felt pressured to invest, and everything was explained clearly, using statistics and information based on past performance. The whole process was informative without being overwhelming, which gave us confidence in making our decisions.

Mark Barron is without doubt the most helpful financial services person I have ever chatted with - incredibly clear, patient and understanding ! He speaks in simple terms (very important for me) but is never patronising. I need an AI Mark Barron to help me with other potentially challenging things in my life !
