We offer an independent advice service. This means that we consider a wide range of financial strategies and products. We are constantly reviewing the market to ensure that the services and products we offer are appropriate for our clients.
Where we recommend particular investment strategies and products, these will be selected based on your personal circumstances, financial goals and objectives. We will consider a range of factors, including the service you need, the cost of investing, how much risk you are prepared to accept in an investment product and how much of a drop in its value you could withstand.
The areas we can advise include open ended investments companies, unit trusts, Exchange traded funds, ISAs, Investment bonds, investment trusts, pensions, phased retirement, income drawdown, annuities, term assurance, critical illness cover, income protection.
We do not provide advice in relation to individual share holdings. We do not provide advice on options, futures and other derivative contracts, nor venture capital trusts, Enterprise Investment Schemes, structured products as we believe that these are unlikely to be suitable for our clients.
We will confirm to you in writing the basis of our reason for recommending the products arranged on your behalf. Your stated objectives will be reiterated in our Advice Reports, along with details of any special risks associated with any product recommended.
We offer products from the whole of the market. Full details of the products we may recommend will be covered in the relevant product disclosure information you will receive before the completion of any contract.
Any products we have arranged for you will not necessarily be kept under review. If we intend to do this, it will be agreed with you in writing within your Client Services Agreement before providing the advice. However, we may contact you in the future by means of telephone, email or post should we wish to discuss the relative merits of a product or service which we feel may be of benefit to you.
Unless we notify you in writing to the contrary, we will be treating you as a “retail client”. This means that you are afforded the highest level of protection under the regulatory system and should have the right to take any complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Details of our complaints procedure are available on request.
In order to provide you with a personal recommendation, you must disclose all necessary information to enable us to ensure that our recommendation is suitable for your circumstances. We will accept verbal instructions at our discretion, but these must be confirmed immediately in writing. We can refuse your instructions at our discretion.
It is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information to us and to any product providers in relation to your policy. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for incorrect information held in the event of non-disclosure.
In our dealings with you it is unlikely we will have a conflict of interest. If we do have a conflict of interest or a material interest other than receiving commission or fees, or we know that another customer has an interest, we will do everything we can to manage the conflict.
If we can’t do this, we will write to you with full details before any transaction goes ahead and give you the chance to object to this interest. You may, at any time, ask for more details about our conflicts of interest policy.
