I have done very many drawdown cases with them and its an absolute doddle and only rarely had issues. However, if it a platform that is geared for an intermediary/IFA to use. Usually, the IFA would key in the drawdown and the software follows what the adviser does. Aviva recently allowed consumers to give instructions and they will act on them but they are not geared for that. If you are a DIY investor, then its usually best to use a DIY provider. Not one aimed at intermediary/IFAs0 -

Not one aimed at intermediary/IFAsI am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.1 -
