About Us
Our financial planning philosophy
Sound financial planning can help you answer life’s key financial questions:
- How much is enough?
- Will I run out of money?
- What if I die or become unable to work.
- Am I paying too much tax.
- We listen to you.
We spend time finding out what your values, goals and objectives are and what you truly wish to achieve from life.
Based on these responses, we will devise a financial plan which sets the framework for you to achieve your goals. From this starting point we are then able to fully advise you on all aspects of your finances and ensure that the focus of all these different aspects is in achieving your goals.
We believe in building long term relationships with clients focused around their financial plan. As your life changes so should your financial plan to ensure that your objectives will be met. We are there for you every step of the journey.
Our investment philosophy
We believe that portfolio construction is as much art as science and that no one strategy or process is ever perfect or even exists. We will work with you to construct an investment portfolio with the target of meeting your financial planning objectives, whilst remaining within your tolerances to risk. We endeavour to do this whilst minimising costs and maximising returns.
Our investment process follows four stages:
- Aim
- Asset Allocation
- Diversification.
- Review
Aim
The aim of the portfolio is vital. Using your financial objectives and goals as a benchmark we can advise on the return needed and determine the level of risk (if any) you need to take to achieve them.
Asset Allocation
Devise an asset allocation overlay between growth and defensive assets.
Diversification
We choose investment strategies which aim to spread risk by investing across as many different asset classes as possible, such as equities, corporate bonds, government bonds, cash, property, etc.
Review
As life changes so should your investments. Our ongoing review service enables us to monitor your portfolio and ensure that you remain on track.
Our pricing structure
We operate a flexible fee based remuneration structure. We will discuss our remuneration structure and agree engagement terms with you before proceeding with any work. Our pricing structure is available on request.
