Wealth, just like your health, must be carefully preserved. Your assets need to be protected against the potential threats of erosion by taxation, the effects of inflation and investment risks.

All of our advice will consider your tax free allowances to ensure that whatever we do for you will be as efficient as possible.

Savings & Investments

You may be looking to save for your children’s school fees, wanting to reduce your mortgage as quickly as possible or making sure that you can have the special holiday that you have always dreamt about.

Our role is to help you choose the best way for you to either save or invest your money in order to meet your objectives. We will inform, educate and help you choose the right solution for you and your family by having open and honest discussions with you in a setting you feel comfortable in.

We have a broad selection of funds and investment strategies which will be tailored to your own situation.

Areas we can consider are:

ISAs - Flexible, Junior, Help-to-buy* |   VCT & EIS*  |  Sustainable (ESG) Funds   |   Investment Bonds   |   Discretionary Management  |  Savings Rates

 

THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE INCOME THEY PRODUCE CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE. YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVESTED.

*THE HELP TO BUY ISA IS NO LONGER OPEN TO NEW ACCOUNTS.

*VENTURE CAPITAL TRUSTS (VCT) & ENTERPRISE INVESTMENT SCHEMES (EIS) INVEST IN ASSETS THAT ARE HIGH RISK AND CAN BE DIFFICULT TO SELL SUCH AS SHARES IN UNLISTED COMPANIES. THE VALUE OF THE INVESTMENT AND THE INCOME FROM IT CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE AND INVESTORS MAY NOT GET BACK WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY INVESTED, EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE TAX BENEFITS.

Pensions

What does your retirement look like? How do you make these dreams happen? Recent analysis from Quilter has estimated that for a single person to enjoy a comfortable retirement they must have a pension of £645,000

A comfortable pension for a single person would need to see someone on an annual income of £26,700 per year on top of the state pension, after tax.” *

There are many options available when taking benefits from pension schemes. We will guide you after understanding your needs to make sure that these investments which you have worked so hard to create, give you the comfortable retirement you deserve. Perhaps, you are just starting to think about the future and how pensions will play an important part for you. Maybe you are already enjoying retirement and looking to make sure that your pension will cater for your loved ones in the future?

*This number was based on an escalating income of three percent and an annuity rate of 5.1 percent based on someone who is of state pension age, which is 66. These new pension calculations originate from PLSA's Retirement Living Standards research which was recently updated to factor in the rising cost of living.

Areas we can consider are:

Small Pots   |  Flexi-access Drawdown   |  Defined Contribution Schemes  |  Self-Invested Personal Pensions

THE VALUE OF PENSIONS AND THE INCOME THEY PRODUCE CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE. YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVEST.
