What our clients say

"I came to Macdonald Wealth looking for help dealing with our investments. During our initial meeting, Niall took the time to listen to us, get to know what our priorities were and our hopes for the future. He presented all the various options in a highly professional manner without overwhelming or rushing us in any way. Overall, Niall was able to construct a plan not only for our investments but also for our future retirement plans. Something that I found admirable was his open, honest and transparent discussion around fees. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

- David & Mary – Gloucestershire

"I first heard about Macdonald Wealth through a friend of mine and having looked them up on the internet I found that they were based in the Cotswolds. I needed help with a number of old pension plans. Additionally, I had some accumulated savings that I wanted to get a better return on as leaving it in the bank was giving me little interest. Having already met with and discussed our circumstances with a few other firms, it was clear that Niall stood out. His passion and depth of knowledge far exceeded that of others we had spoken with. He was very personable and made me feel at ease quickly. He carefully constructed his recommendations for my situation all of which was explained clearly and without jargon. I have found Niall’s attention to detail and ongoing support invaluable over the three years we have worked together."

"I met with Niall a number of years ago and have received nothing but a top-class experience. He listened to my thoughts and future plans for my family and then talked through various options, advising me as to which was the best way forward. He developed a comprehensive investment strategy for us as we reached retirement and consolidated various pension plans in line with this strategy, the performance has been excellent particularly when considered in the context of the turbulent investment markets. I look forward to a long and successful relationship with Macdonald Wealth and have no hesitation in recommending them to others."
