Our Financial Planning Process
The following is a summary of our six stage process:
1. Presentation: at first contact we will provide you with a description of our company including the compliance regulations to which we adhere, consumer protection and our terms and conditions of business.
2. Gathering the data: next we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your current financial status. Together we will identify your financial and personal objectives taking into account your main areas of concern. We will also discuss your time horizon, liquidity needs and attitude to risk.
3. A formal relationship: our letter of engagement will set out our joint aims and establish our commercial relationship. This letter will form the base of our agreement, its terms and its costs. Flexibility is key; we can offer advice on all aspects of your wealth planning or on specific aspects as chosen by you.
4. Development and presentation of the financial plan: having carried out a thorough analysis of your situation and objectives, we will be able to present to you a financial plan that will meet your specific needs. We will discuss our report with you addressing any specific concerns you may have and, if appropriate, compare your current invested position with our analysis.
5. Implementation of the strategy: once you have agreed to the financial plan we will work with you to implement it within the agreed time frame.
6. An ongoing process: we will carry out regular reviews of your financial plan, taking life changes into account and ensuring that your investments remain well-positioned to meet your goals.
