Savings and investments
Putting money aside might not feel like a priority when you’re younger, but it’s important not to leave it too long. After all, the earlier you start to save, the more you could have in the pot at the end.
It all starts with a conversation. And, when you’re ready for that chat, we have the expertise, resources and robust processes to:
- Build a clear picture of what you want to do with your money in the short- and longer-term.
- Understand how much you’ll need and when.
- Understand just how much risk you’re prepared, and able, to take to in order to achieve your objectives.
- Keep you on track.
We help you to create a portfolio of investments that suits your goals, attitude to risk and financial situation in the most tax-efficient way. We admit it’s a relatively dry subject, but to us it comes part and parcel with investing. And you don’t need to know everything about the various ‘tax wrappers’ that are available to you because we do.
Our process at a glance:
- Establish your priorities and objectives.
- Calculate what you earn, what you spend and what assets and liabilities you have or expect to have.
- Calculate how much you can, or can’t, afford to lose without sacrificing the lifestyle you’ve worked hard for.
- Discuss, given all the above, what type of investment plan(s) will give you everything you want out of life.
- We may also use cashflow modelling to show you how your plan might be impacted by expected, or unexpected changes, now and in the future.
- We’ll invite you to regular reviews so that we can keep track of your situation and maintain, or change, your investment strategy accordingly.
By helping you to set clear and measurable goals, and by assessing your attitude to risk and how much or little you could afford to lose, we can match the most suitable mix of investments to each specific goal in the most effective and tax-efficient way. And at each point we’ll do our best to remove the jargon our industry is renowned for, and reassure you of our commitment to the responsible care and stewardship of your money. It’s yours, not ours, after all.
Remember, the value of investments may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount invested. Levels of income from investment may fluctuate.
