Our Service
We combine Financial Planning with Management of Assets and Investment Management.
Financial Planning helps you to set realistic goals and look at different scenarios for the future. You may for example want to know when you can retire and what your income would be. We update the plan with you each year and help you to move towards your goals.
We assist with the management of your assets by indentifying and valuing your financial investments and benefits, and reporting to you on a regular basis. We sometimes use a Wrapper Platform to manage your portfolio. A 'Wrapper' is the type of tax plan in which your assets are held. The usual 'Wrappers' are a Pension Plan, an ISA (Individual Savings Account), and a General Investment Account. Each Wrapper is subject to different tax rules. The platform allows you to see the value of all of your Wrappers in one place and online.
We advise on an Investment Strategy to meet your objectives. Reward and risk are related. We go through a process with you to agree the right Risk Profile for your situation. This gives an Asset Allocation - how much of your portfolio is invested in cash, government and corporate bonds, and equities. This then gives a Model Portfolio which shows you which funds we use to gain exposure to each of the asset classes and markets and market sectors.
We advise using low-cost Index funds to gain exposure to each market or sector. Index funds give the total return on a particular market, such as UK companies, including capital growth and income.
