Great company .

I chose Foresters many years ago for my children’s investments. I couldn’t be happier with both the performance of their investments or the service received .
My advisor, Lee , has been in regular contact and his advice has been excellent throughout .

Hard to get your money out..

As others have commented our daugther is due to turn 18 in 2 days, I contacted our advisor about getting the money out which he informed me could not be done until she turns 18 and she needed to go online and create an account. She has tried to set up and account today but it is saying she cannot do so until she turns 18 which means she will not be able to access the money as soon as she turns 18. Our youngest is 16 so I have reduced the payments down to a minimum and will pay into a seperate ISA with easier access instead.

So hard to retrieve child trust fund

My daughter turned 18years in August 2025 It’s now october 2025. They requested for passport and HMRC letter which she sent off but they have gone quiet. We have requested that she brings all the evidence in person to verify but they haven’t responded. I didn’t know it would be so hard to retrieve her trust fund.

If you can, ask for Cheryl Phillips!

The all-star ace-tier Cheryl Phillips is a wonderful, kind and informative advisor who really helps you to understand all of the nitty-gritty aspects of opening an ISA. I am very new to it all and she held my hand through the whole thing and I feel a ton more confident about it all now.
