THIS is why you need to work with a financial adviserThere’s a great news story doing the rounds this week, about a chap who received a windfall of nearly £133,000 after a chance conversation with his financial adviser which led him to a state pension pot he didn’t know existed.

In this episode, why working with a financial adviser can lead to unexpected riches – or at least help make sense of your financial paperwork and remove a great deal of stress from your life.
