Would not recommend Edward Bond Wealth …

Would not recommend Edward Bond Wealth Management to anyone, very happy to take their cut of your hard earned pension in a transfer, but when their employee’s mess up, they aren’t interested in reimbursing you in any way. Daniel Bowles was my financial adviser, and when he set up the payment date incorrectly, despite my very explicit instructions, Edward Bond Wealth Management did not feel they should make amends me, even though their employee’s actions lead to me being overdrawn in a brand new bank account ! Be careful if you trade with this company.

Hello Mark,

I am very sorry to hear your concerns. After looking in to your case, unfortunately we cannot see any notes to state the start date but the adviser has apologised if this was lost in communication as this has never happened before. As a good will gesture, your adviser had offered to reduce your ongoing reviews by 50% which was accepted in June and then later declined.

After being miss sold a SIPP pension …

After being miss sold a SIPP pension and having all my pension fund trapped in a bank account I could not access a friend recommended Simon Drake of Edward Bond Wealth Management. Simon worked tirelessly to help retrieve my pension fund, after a long slog he did just that and helped me set up a pension scheme to suit me which is now performing better than I could of wished for. On top of that Simon helped me peruse the miss sold SIPP with the FSCS and I have just been awarded £12,000 in compensation. I cant thank Simon and Edward Bond wealth Management enough.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review with us. I'm pleased that you were able to sort out your pension with the professional aid of Simon Drake. We understand it can be a serious issue having your SIPP mis-sold; being granted a £12,000 compensation is truly excellent.

All the best,

Friendly, expert and professional

Friendly, expert and professional. Definitely feel that my financial adviser is on my side and genuinely looking after my best financial interests. Simon is an amazing expert on pensions and explains in layman's terms the performance of my pension, and guides me through making sound decisions on how to plan for the future.

Defined Benefit Transfer

I had several funds which i wanted to consolidate including a defined benefit. Simon - EBWM guided me through the process, explaining the steps all the way through to completion after the potential value of the transfer was identified.
EBWM kept me up-to-date with all the progress and i always felt I could approach EBWM with any queries I had. The process was severely time constrained and EBWM made me feel a valued customer in the time and efforts given to complete the transfer in time. Cant thank them enough!

I have been with Edward Bond Wealth Managemet for 4 years now after switching my personal pension with them and i can highley recommend them. My personal pension is now doing realy well since switching to them where beforehand it was doing poorly, i now have regular reviews so i know exactly how my pension is doing or switch my pension with ease and im able to contact my advisor easily should i require any advice about my pension plus i also received regular newsletters by email which help me understand exactly whats going on in the financial world and how this may effect my pension.

Have been with the company just over 3 years after a meeting with Simon Drake. My pension has increased every year under the guidance of Simon quite considerably. Simon is friendly informative and I would highly recommend both him and the company.

Very easy process

I recently worked with Martin to have a Will and Trust written for my Wife and I as we have a newborn. It was a lot easier process than I thought it would be and he helped me understand every step of the process. I would definitely recommend using this service if you need a Will or Trust.

Highly recommended company with you in mind.

Edward Bond first contacted me around 4 years ago about my pension,it was at that stage i met Simon Drake who became my own personal financial advisor regards my personal pension.I can honestly say its been one of the better decisions regards my financial future.Simon is a honest smart and likeable guy who makes you feel comfortable and explains everything in easy terms so you understand your own personal situation. In the past 4 years ive had to make a few changes and needed extra guidance of which Simon has been fantastic and sorted it with the upmost efficiency.I would recommend Simon to anyone who needs any kind of advice regards pensions, life assurance or any other similar products, it will be one of your better decisions. From a very satisfied customer. Many thanks Alan.
