Friendly, tailored and personal advice
Its so great to be able to reach out to a Forester's financial advisor to help us understand the products and make the right decision. We have been lucky to work with Minal Vyas for the last five years. She is super helpful and has patiently explained all the Forester products, helping us to make good decisions about our savings. I really appreciate the continuity of having the same person to talk to each time we need help. We feel she knows us and our family and is really there for us.

Child Trust Fund
After 20 years my daughters Child Trust Fund made about £100 ....if that....I did put a few grand in a few years ago but hardly made much. She had friends who had put nothing in to the ctf and came out with more some even 1500 she withdraw and closed her account....anyone else have similar experience?
