My advice, don't touch them with a barge pole!
You will find these 'independant' financial advisors are anything but independant. They will try to pawn some scheme or other on to you and pocket a large fee from your projected profits.
One way you can benefit however is to get them to do an appraisal on your financial affairs. It can be quite sobering to count the remaining pay checks until age 60 (it doesn't seem that many!) and is a good wake up call. But as for the products these guys pedal, tread carefully.
There is a reason they are in Dubai and it ain't for the sun!
Good luck.
