How it works
Starting the conversation
Looking for financial advice can seem like a big step.
It actually just starts with a conversation about your goals and how your money will help you get there.
A no-obligation first conversation with someone experienced will help to work out if you might benefit from financial advice.
- You have an initial consultation to find out if financial advice might work for you, and then get an appointment booked with an adviser.
- You choose how you talk to an advisor, by phone, by video, or in person.
- Your adviser finds out about your current lifestyle and financial situation, and how you feel about risk and reward.
- You get a personalised plan with approved funds researched by technical experts, and your advisor talks you through it.
- Deciding to go ahead once you’re happy with the plan, you discuss the level of service you need and what it might cost. You’ll only be charged if you decide to go ahead with your plan.
Important information…
Financial planning advice is likely to include stock market-based investments. These are not like bank and building society savings accounts: your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you invested. The value of your investments and any income from them may fall as well as rise.
Pensions are long term investments and your eventual income will depend upon the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.
IHT thresholds depend on your individual circumstances and prevailing legislation, both may change in future.
