5-step planning process

  1. Meet

    The first step is meeting with a financial planner to help them understand what matters most to you, as well as to discuss your circumstances, attitude and capacity for risk, and your future aspirations.

  2. Discover

    To develop a tailored integrated plan that best meets your needs, we look at your current financial position and the goals you wish to achieve. With this information, we then agree with you the services that we will provide and the fees we will charge.

  3. Agree

    Once your personal financial plan has been prepared, we will discuss it with you to ensure you understand and agree with our recommendations before we proceed any further.

  4. Action

    We will implement your personal financial plan, drawing on the comprehensive support team from across our business.

  5. Review

    We will regularly review and adapt your personal financial plan with you. This is to ensure that your goals evolve with lifetime events.
