Retail Distribution Review (RDR) - What’s Changed?

Major changes have taken place in the Industry since January 1st 2013. We believe this is good for us and the consumer alike, and has introduced long overdue transparency around costs, and raises the bar in terms of the knowledge levels of Industry professionals and their expertise. Please read the Financial Services Authority (FSA) - since renamed to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) - consumer guide to understand what this means.

Client Testimonials

  • Derek was recommended to me by another financial adviser who I had been dealing with. He arranged for my final salary pension to be transferred to a SIPP and, from my initial introduction until the transfer was completed, everything went very smoothly as Derek ensured that I was kept fully informed at each stage. He provided details of my projected fund value and income based on a conservative growth strategy and took the time to make sure that I understood the information he provided.  Although it's been less than a year since the transfer was completed, I'm pleased with the amount which my fund has increased by in such a short space of

    Client Helen Ducat, Glasgow
  • Derek was recommended to me by one of my work colleagues who had previously received financial planning advice from him and his team at Campbell Alexander Financial Management for a number of years whom have been delighted with the results, in investment growth. At my initial meeting with Derek he enthused me with his wealth of experience in all financial matters, his advice was straightforward, and easy to understand  – even for me! The process of transferring my pension was well prepared [a special mention to Sinead] and hassle free. During the process the team kept me well informed and discussed my requirements throughout, advising the

    Client Dorian Rixon, Fallin, Stirling
  • Following a disappointing experience with another financial advisor Derek was recommended to us by a trusted friend. From the moment we met with Derek we were comfortable with his straight-talking approach and his undoubted knowledge of the financial markets.

    Client Steven & Carole Buchanan
  • I contacted Derek for financial advice after recommendation from a business contact, his knowledge and patience in dealing with someone who if I am honest was probably not the easiest client he ever had, was paramount in putting my mind at ease, as to resolving my pension issues, and for that I must thank him.
    Derek explained the options and process step by step ensuring understanding on my part, I can only say that I wish that I had the good fortune to meet Derek years ago, and gained the benefit of the financial advice then, that he has given me now.

     

    Client Billy Prentice, Glasgow

    Derek came highly recommended and I can honestly say we very impressed by the professional and efficient service his company provided.
    We are both very grateful for all the help and advice we were given.
    It helped us come to some decisions which have changed our situation for the better.
    We were kept up to date at all times and were pleased with the timescale in which everything was completed.
    I would not hesitate to recommend Derek and his colleague Sinead to family and friends in the future.

    Client Mr & Mrs Flannigan, Blantyre, Glasgow
  • Derek was recommended to me by my accountant and I am extremely pleased that I contacted him.  Derek’s advice was fantastic, his knowledge is second to none and he made me feel at ease.  One thing that stood out was his honesty, which made me consider various options.  I am delighted with my choices and he is my first point of contact for my ongoing financial matters.  I have already recommended Derek to friends who would also benefit from his advice.  I feel that my financial affairs are in a ‘safe’ pair of hands.  Sinead has also been supportive and always follows through on any actions very quickly.  Thank You!

    Client Jacqui McLean, Uddingston
  • I was inherently suspicious of Financial Advisors however after taking the time to get to know Derek and the team I have been impressed with the level of attentiveness and service received.

    It is clearly important to feel comfortable with your advisors whilst making potentially life changing decisions and it is great to know that I can pick up the phone to Derek at any point and receive straight forward convincing advice that meets my needs and that of my family. If you want flexible, clear, professional and objective advice on your finances then I would have no hesitation in recommending Derek and the team.

    Client Ronald Douglas Grant, Renfrewshire
  • I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and Sinead for helping me sort my finances out.

    They were, if I'm going to be honest in disarray. The amalgamation of my pensions new and old was a task I was and have been contemplating for a while, but you eased that burden for me so well.

    Having funds in frozen pensions was never going to help me but you guys did an extremely good job. The tax advice you gave me was exceptional too.

    After looking at my portfolio recently I have seen a very healthy rise and that's after only 1 year!!!

    Please be my guest if you want me to share my fantastic experience with anyone.

    Client Baber Zaman, Solihull, West Midlands
  • When it comes to financial advice there are loads of commentators that talk a good game, but Derek Campbell of Campbell Alexander Financial Management helps you make it happen. They have enabled me to have confidence not only in investing but more importantly in understanding my finances and the options available. Engaging customer care that is on a personal level.

    Client Serge Abreu, Hertfordshire
  • Clear, Concise, Honest, Reliable, Supportive, Realistic, Enthusiastic, Personable, put simply Exceptional Service at EVERY Step of the way…

    Derek was recommended to us through my brother in law and after a few phone calls Derek was on the way to securing our Mortgage Offer on our first family home.

    Providing informative options and products to suit our needs and managing the process meticulously and rigorously until the end. Not only professionally but personally handled the purchase of our new house, after several misses, through closing dates. Encouraging and supportive through the stressful times Derek was ALWAYS at the

    Client Simon & Amanda Corrigan, Cambuslang
  • Derek was recommended to me by my sister and brother in law as he assisted them with getting a mortgage. Derek went above and beyond in helping me obtain a mortgage and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. I would recommend Derek to anyone looking for financial advice

    Client Laura Kane
  • After an introduction from a trusted friend I knew I was going to get clear and objective advice from Derek at Campbell Alexander Financial Management Limited. He was clear over the risk that I might face and didn't try to just point out the "good bits" when we sat down to plan my pensions future. He was diligent in assessing, with me, the pros and cons of moving a lump sum from a deferred pension into a more flexible option that suited me and my family circumstances. His best advice when I told him I was considering retiring early was "don't, keep working" which I appreciated. That advice, which I took, then allowed us an opportunity to

    Client George McVerry, Wishaw, Lanarkshire
  • My husband and I have known Derek for 3 years. During that time, he has provided welcome and sound advice, helping us through the minefield of information in relation to pensions, as well as setting up other investments. In the run up to retirement, Derek took us through the options available, with knowledge, enthusiasm, personal commitment (and patience!) which resulted in investments being made which we are confident are the right ones for us.

    We have established a trusted relationship and I have had no hesitation in recommending Derek to colleagues.

    Client Ann McIvor, Motherwell, Lanarkshire
  • I have always been dubious... I do not trust easily, especially where finances are concerned! Given recent history, where investments crashed and advice from professional advisors came under justifiable scrutiny I was not inclined to get on board.... However, the personal service & one to one engagement by Derek was exceptional.... I am an extremely difficult client but was dealt with extraordinary patience, concern and good advice. I invested and have seen my investments grow at a much better than market rate! I continue to invest as I am confident that my best interests are at the foremost....

    Client Darren Skillan, Doune , Stirlingshire
  • Straight talking, no nonsense approach to financial planning. So far the results have been very encouraging.

    Client Steven Marshall, Marshall Packaging, Edinburgh
  • With the help of Derek’s financial prowess he has diligently gone through all our existing funds, dissected the myriad of paperwork and as a consequence, put us both on a more sure financial footing for the future, with the ability to view all our investments at any time we wish. Thank you once again and looking forward to the future.

    Client Janice & Raymond McArthur - Cumbernauld, Glasgow
  • I have known Derek for 20 years in his capacity as my financial adviser. He has always ensured that I (then my husband and latterly my family) have had up to date advice with regards to the financial market. Over the time I have been a client I have used Derek for many reasons including several mortgages, pension requirements, investments and insurance. In all cases I have received a highly professional and relevant service and due to his depth of knowledge on the financial market, Derek can help you navigate and find the most suitable products! I have recommended Derek on many occasions to friends and family and would not hesitate to do

    Client Sandra Lannigan - Newmains, Lanarkshire
  • I was previously represented by Bank of Scotland but felt I was not receiving any financial gain. I was given your company's details by a family member who has used your services for a number of years which then prompted me to take action and make changes. Having recently retired it was more important than ever. I am very pleased with the service and advice I have received to date and would recommend your company.

    Client William W. McColl, Aberfoyle
  • I had spoken to a couple of Financial Advisor's but once I met with Derek I knew we would get along and within a matter of weeks my finances were all in place easily and painlessly. I would recommend him to anyone as he does exactly what he says with enthusiasm.

    Client Gordon McArthur, WMQ Building Services, Wishaw, Lanarkshire
  • We had been with a previous financial adviser for a considerable number of years and were dissatisfied with the service being provided and we decided to source an alternative adviser. Having been given an introduction to Derek and after our initial meeting we were impressed by his enthusiasm and focus and decided to transfer our entire portfolio to him. Within a very short period Derek has completely reconstructed the portfolio to our entire satisfaction. We would not hesitate to recommend Derek and have done so to family.

    Client James & Jacqueline McArthur, Braidwood, South Lanarkshire
  • Where do I start with Derek. He has to be the most fantastic financial adviser I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thank goodness I was passed his details by a friend.....after being let down by various mortgage companies who failed to do what Derek achieved in a matter of hours. His knowledge of the mortgage market is exceptional. I can't recommend Derek highly enough.

    Client Kelly Willison, Midlothian May, 2014
  • Derek keeps himself well informed and always is at hand to provide advice. In these uncertain times I was sceptical about all financial dealings, but having been advised to talk to Derek by several trusted colleagues I took the plunge. To be fair Derek was very patient with all of my many questions and gave me very considered and balanced answers. I am so happy I put my trust in Derek and yes the money is working to.
