Here To Help
Events happen throughout everyone’s life. None of us can predict exactly when, and many of them will take you by surprise, whether good or bad.
But we can learn from the experiences of others, and can choose a plan to maximise the advantage of opportunities and minimise the effects of disasters.
Whatever events you are expecting, or not expecting,
MAKE SURE YOU CONSULT AN ADVISER.
Who needs a FINANCIAL ADVISER?
Most people are likely to need financial advice at least once in their lives. Of these, a large number will benefit from seeking advice on several occasions, and a few will do so on a regular basis.
So how can you work out what your own advice needs may be? And how do you know when it’s time to find an adviser?
If you’re facing a big decision on which a lot of money depends, advice can be invaluable. Things like setting up a pension, buying a home or planning for retirement may be rare or even one-off events, so you will probably have very little experience on which to base these crucial choices. And though you may seek guidance from friends and family, or online, neither of those can give you as much confidence as unbiased advice from an experienced professional.
when do I need to speak to a financial adviser?
There are many occasions in life where advice can make a big difference – some more obvious than others. Most people who contact an adviser do so when facing one or more of these decisions.
Investing
Saving
Buying a home
Starting a pension
Changing Career
Marriage
Starting a family
Starting a business
Planning for retirement
Drawing an income in retirement
Planning life after retirement
Other reasons for seeking financial advice may include moving abroad, getting divorced, arranging for yourself or a relative to go into long-term care, or any situation in which you may need to take out a financial product, such as a mortgage, insurance, or a pension arrangement.
For example, if you want advice on how to access your pension, your adviser will first take time to discuss your plans for retirement, and so assess your changing income needs over time. Only then will they start to recommend strategies and products.
Last but not least, an independent or whole-of-market financial adviser can find the most suitable products for you from all that are available – something no comparison site can do. They will also ensure that the chosen product is the best possible fit for your particular circumstances.
