cathrobinson Jul 2022 2:03pm, 15 Jul 2022 10,337 posts	0 cathrobinson Having assessed past performance of my current pension pots (and yes, I know that doesn’t guarantee consistent future performance), and having no desire to become a finance boffin whilst still having enough knowledge to be dangerous, I signed up with Reeves this week. Yes, this approach isn’t for everyone, but I’ve decided it’s the best option for me to have an element of control but also get considered advice, and at least I know one person who is quite happy with them so that helps
