Common Questions
If you have any other questions or need more information, feel free to reach out directly.
Ask a question
01/
Do I need a financial adviser at all?
Not everyone does, and we’ll tell you if you don't. Broadly, advice earns its keep when the sums are meaningful, the decisions are hard to reverse, or the rules are shifting under you.Retirement manages all three at once, which is why it's usually the advice people request first.
02/
How much money do I need to work with you?
Most clients we work with have built up pensions, savings and investments over time, but we look at each situation on its own merits rather than a number on a form. The discovery call is the best way to find out where you stand, and we'll always be straightforward about whether we're the right fit. If we’re unable to help, we'll happily provide you with any guidance we can and point you in the right direction.
03/
Are you tied to particular products or providers?
No we are fully independent, so we can focus on getting the best outcomes for clients. Our recommendations are driven by what fits your circumstances, never by commission, and we'll always show you the reasoning. Fair value is one of our founding principles, and we're happy to be judged on it.
04/
I've never used a financial planner before. What actually happens?
You book a free discovery call and talk to one of us, usually for half an hour or so. We ask about your situation and explain the services we offer, charges and advice process. If it makes sense to go further, we'll explain exactly what happens next. If it doesn't, no hard feelings, and no follow-up calls at dinner time.
05/
What do you charge?
Examples of our fees are published on our fees page. Before you commit to anything, you'll have a personal quote in pounds and pence.
06/
Do I have to move everything to you?
No, we’ll review what you have and only recommend changes where it makes sense. Some arrangements are worth keeping, and when this is the case, we’ll say so.
