How we help
Retirement lifestyle planning
When you picture a good retirement, you probably picture a life spent busily doing things you love, without the burden of work. But not everyone comes to retirement able to clearly picture what that life looks like. We will help you identify the perfect retirement lifestyle for you, then set to work ensuring you have enough money to achieve it.
Wealth management
A fundamental part of retirement planning is calculating the safe withdrawal rate from your retirement funds. You want to be sure you are saving enough for later life while still being able to enjoy your retirement to the fullest. No easy matter given volatile market conditions and a fast-changing economy. We use trend investment strategies to better navigate uncertain markets.
Pension fund enhancement
Our goal is to provide you with a retirement free from money worries – the least you deserve after a lifetime of hard work and saving! While nothing in life or the markets is a certainty, we often find that there is considerable scope for clients to increase the monies in their pension funds; they simply require hands-on guidance to understand the steps needed to achieve this.
Protection
While you might not like to spend too long thinking about worst-case scenarios, bad things can, unfortunately, happen to good people. Carefully tailored protection planning will ensure your loved ones are protected from financial dangers if ill health, an accident, or a death strike. We’ll help ensure that the fate of your loved ones is never left to chance.
Second opinion service
Making potentially life-changing financial decisions can be nerve-wracking. We offer a small number of “second opinion” appointments per month. These provide an opportunity to gain an experienced eye over any arrangements you have made yourself, or advice you have received elsewhere.
Estate and tax planning
Do you want to ensure that your wealth is passed on to the next generation? Do you worry about the impact of Inheritance Tax on those you leave behind? Our team will help you preserve your wealth for your loved ones with a plan incorporating Inheritance Tax mitigation, will writing, a plan for the transfer of pensions after death, and estate planning.
