Whose Products & What Services Do We Offer?
We offer an ‘Independent’ service. This means that we are not restricted to using any one provider or using any particular products.
We will advise and make a recommendation for you after we have assessed your needs. Our recommendation will be based on a comprehensive and fair analysis of the market.
We do not offer an ‘information only’ service we will always provide personal advice and a recommendation based upon your specific needs and circumstances.
Initial Advice
After thoroughly exploring your financial situation, goals and objectives, resources and attitude to risk as well as your capacity for loss and level of risk you need to take we will make an initial recommendation for investment products and investment funds as appropriate.
As part of the initial advice service, we will also implement those recommendations where accepted and to the extent that recommended product providers will allow.
If you elect not to take an ongoing service we will ensure that you are clear on how you can administer your new plans going forward. Where an initial advice service only has been selected we will not check or confirm in that any recommendation remains suitable in future years as your circumstances and the legislative and financial landscape may change. Our obligation to you is discharged when your initial advice and recommendations have been delivered and discharged.
Ongoing Advice and Service
Ongoing advice can only be provided after initial advice and is not available on a ‘stand-alone basis’.
Ongoing Advice and Services include but are not limited to;
- At least one annual meeting in person or remotely to assess your arrangements and make any changes necessary.
- Access to our in house investment portfolios that are managed on an ongoing basis.
- An online portal will be supplied to all clients who require one that will allow access to investment valuations, policy details and documents if supported by the individual products.

For clients with ongoing service, there are no further initial charges for moving money we are already managing for you from one plan to another. For example, moving investment monies to your ISA when your new allowance becomes available each tax year
