5-step financial planning process

1

Meet

An adviser will hold a complimentary meeting with you to understand what matters most, as well as to discuss your circumstances, attitude and capacity for risk, and your future goals.

2

Discover

To develop an integrated and tailored financial plan that best meets your needs, we perform a 360° assessment of your current financial position. By understanding the goals you wish to achieve, we agree with you the services that we will provide and the fees we will charge.

3

Agree

Once your tailored 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 with precision, drawing on dedicated support teams from across our business.

5

Review

We will regularly review and adapt your plan with you. This ensures that your financial planning objectives can evolve as life inevitably changes.

Financial planning for your future

You can’t always predict what the future holds, but you can make sure you are prepared for the important financial decisions you will face.

We can help by:

  • Providing you with a detailed, holistic financial plan that best meets your needs.
  • Using our expertise in investment management, we’ll help you build an investment portfolio that is tailored to you.
  • Advising on tax regulations, helping you make the most of tax allowances and keeping up to date with any changes that might affect you.
  • Offering intergenerational financial planning that helps you pass on your legacy.

Many solutions will involve capital at risk products. Tax rules can change and any benefits will depend on your individual circumstances.

Our advice fees

At an initial complimentary consultation, we listen to your needs and explain how our advice service could help you. Your adviser will discuss any fees with you before we give any advice or financial planning.

As no two clients' requirements are the same, our fees vary depending on the scope of work and the type of relationship you are looking for. We will normally charge between 1-2% of the amount to be invested for our initial review, professional advice and any associated implementation work. For clients who seek peace of mind through an ongoing relationship with us, our annual professional advice and service fee is typically 0.5-1%.

Our investment fees vary depending on the type of investment you require and our platform fee for custody and administration starts at 0.25% and reduces in tiers to 0% depending on the amount you and your family invest.

Our award winning service (Ranked second in the 2019 FTAdviser Top 100 Financial Advisers list) is available through a face to face relationship or over the telephone through our Telephone Advice Service.
