Financial Life Planning Service.
Financial Life Planning is a process designed to give you focus and time, to set out and work through your specific life plans. We will:
- Encourage in-depth conversations, with specifically designed exercises as necessary, to clearly formulate your desired financial life goals, needs and wants. This may require more than one meeting
- Carry out a full and in-depth analysis, stress-testing and challenging your current financial arrangements, using advanced “Cash Flow Planning” technology. This helps us to establish if you will have enough money to live your life the way you want to, all the way to the end
- Discuss and agree your individual risk profile and investment strategy
- Provide a tailored recommendation, addressing any amendments needed to your existing plans and suggestions for any gaps that need filling. This will range from
essential Life and Income Protection through to Pensions and Investment Management
- Encourage regular reviews, to ensure your plan stays on course
- Finally move on to the Investment Management Service if applicable

On-going Annual Management Fee:
There is a minimum fee of £500 a year. This is based on the value of your investment portfolio (calculated on a daily basis) and is charged as follows:
- Up to £250,000 sum invested – 1% per annum
- The next £250,001 to £500,000 – 0.85% per annum
- Above £500,001 – 0.65% per annum
Example 1: if your investments are, on average over the year, valued at £10,000, the On- going Annual Management Fee is £100. As this is less than the minimum, you would pay £500 per annum.
Example 2: if your investments are valued at £100,000 on average over the year, the On- going Annual Management Fee is £1,000. As this is over the minimum, you would pay £1,000.
