Tim was extremely helpful discussing financial options available to purchase. His calm and professional manner , coupled with excellent interpersonal skills enabled me to make a decision without feeling pressurised in any way. Tim answered all my questions competently , the application process was made to feel very straightforward . I would definitely recommend Foresters to friends and family.

Professional and Friendly advise

I set up an appointment with the lovely financial advisor Zainab Jamal. I went in having no idea of how I wanted to move forward with my finances/ Foresters plans. Zainab explained all of my options so so well, nothing felt rushed, she was very professional yet friendly which made me feel comfortable and able to ask questions. I left the meeting feeling confident and well informed to make my own decision. Thank you very much Zainab ! I would recommend to others for sure.

Very reliable and professional service

Foresters have looked after our two Child Trust Funds, which have performed solidly. We are reassured that the pros and cons of various adult investments were explained very thoroughly to our newly-adult children when these were transferred to full ISAs, and all the right procedures were followed scrupulously. Adviser Zainab Jamal allowed sufficient time and answered all our questions patiently and fully.

Awful company untrustworthy

Awful company untrustworthy. Shows funds are high until it's the year you can take the money out. 6 months before you will start seeing a decline. Happened to my daughters account in 2023. And now will have my son turning 18 in June. Being taking screenshots of how they suddenly decline. Giving false hope. You will lose about 4000 from what they show you when the time is near. When you phone all their EXCUSE will be the markets are low etc, MAKING UP financial jargon to make you believe their fake reasons to convince their customers OF THE DECLINE . Until the 17th birthday always shown a steady increase . SO WHY INVEST IN MARKETS NEAR THE END TO LOSE MONEY. (ALL FAKE) Obviously you know it's about them making money and using your money that you invested for their GAINS. DONT GET YOUR HOPES HIGH BY LOOKING AT FAKE FIGURES
When posted this 4.3 rating.
24 percent 1 star.
Obviously they will change and manipulate you to change your rating

Lee was absolutely fantastic in informing us of the different options available to us now my Son has reached 18 and is ready to make a decision on his Child Trust Fund. Couldn't have been clearer and Lee gave us great information on benefits available such as apps and membership benefits. Thank you Lee!

Great financial advisor …

We recently made some financial decisions regarding various ISA and pension options. Jade has helped and advised us through every step. She has addressed all our concerns and answered every question, no matter how trivial. She is very friendly yet extremely professional and inspires confidence.
