Yes, after an initial meeting we will be able to assess how we can help you, and outline what, if any charges we would need to levy to look after your financial planning needs.  We would then help you to transfer over your plans.

This depends on how you wish to engage us.  Most of our clients wish to benefit an annual review, where others wish us to establish the transaction, and then come back to us when/if they choose they need further assistance.  This will be discussed at the initial discovery meeting and confirmed in the client engagement letter and the suitability report.

It is never too late – make an appointment we would be delighted to help you.

This depends on the type of investment you put the money into – it is important to set aside a level of emergency fund, say 3 to 6 month income on deposit, and then consider a manner to vest additional monies which take account of your financial needs.  Part of the initial fact finding processes are to assess which styles of invests are appropriate to your needs.

In some circumstances that maybe the correct option, but before a decision is made a full review would need to be undertaken.  This review would amongst other things look at the type of pension it is, you’re financial planning objectives, the death benefit requirements, charges and your attitude to risk/ability for loss.  Only when this review had been undertaken would any recommendations be made to you in writing.

This is one of the most important aspects of financial planning.   We will assist you in determining your appropriate attitude to risk, and as important your ability for loss.  For example you may wish to have a higher risk tolerance for regular contributions to take account of ‘pound cost averaging’, and/or phase lump sums out of higher risk funds coming up to retirement.

We provide a generic advice service, with most of our clients asking us to look after all their financial affairs.  This means that we can oversee all aspects of the planning.

There are many taxes, for example income tax, capital gains tac, corporation tax, inheritance tax etc.  Investment tax wrappers work in different ways, and it is important to establish a linked up investment structures which work together to establish the outcome you need from your financial plan.  We will review these for you, and at the same time make sure that the charges are the most competitive you can access and that the funds you are investing into are appropriate to your attitude to risk and ability for loss.
