Planning for a Fulfilling Retirement — With Confidence
Are you approaching retirement with excitement, or already enjoying the freedom it brings?
Do you have ambitions, passions, and a lifestyle you’ve worked hard to build — and want to protect?
At the same time, are you wondering whether your financial strategy is truly aligned with your goals?
Are your pensions, savings, and investments working as hard for you as they could be?
And what about other important considerations — such as gifting to family, mitigating tax, or preparing for potential care costs?
Retirement Planning & Investment Specialists
Are you looking forward to retirement; or already enjoying it? Do you have goals, ambitions and an active, fulfilling life that you want to lead?
But are you concerned that you may not be making the most of your pensions, savings, and investments; money that you (will) rely on to fund your lifestyle?
Perhaps other issues such as making gifts to family, tax mitigation and potential future care costs also need to be considered?

What our clients say:
Our family has dealt with Darren for over 20 years, he has become a valued and trusted advisor. He offers strong and sound advice and explains everything in layman’s terms. Family businesses and investments are always delicate and can become quite emotive and controversial. Darren navigates his way through these discussions and listens to everyone’s concerns before offering sound solutions. He always follows through everything and does what he promises.
When my wife and I needed proper professional advice we looked at other IFAs and realised that…Darren was so far ahead of them in terms of research, seriousness, management backup and probity.
I was extremely worried about choosing an investment adviser, but having learnt more about QED’s service and having spoken to several existing clients, I felt confident QED were the right people for me.
What Darren provides is a focus on a balanced portfolio, tuned to a level of risk tailored to your circumstances and objectives with investment funds that are not like vampires that drain away the value of your portfolio with high fees.
Darren listens really well and takes the time to understand personal goals. His assessment of his clients attitude to risk is the best I have come across from an advisor and very thorough.
We chose Darren specifically because…we preferred his approach of minimising the internal “tax” of high management costs. He has paid us ample attention…His explanations are clear, at the right level of detail, and he has inspired confidence. He has managed to avoid swamping us with unnecessary paperwork and we have a straightforward view of our investments which we can call up on the web whenever we want, all in one place. I have no hesitation in recommending Darren.
