Pensions
Keeping your pension planning on track
The reasons we conduct reviews for our clients are highlighted below. If you are not a client of ours already, the following questions may help you to decide whether you should get us to review your own pension plans.
- Am I paying too much in charges?
- Is the level of risk in my pension funds right for me?
- Do my plans reflect my current circumstances?
- Am I getting the maximum tax breaks?
- Do I know how my past and current pensions all work?
- How impressed am I with my provider’s service?
- Am I on track for the retirement income I want?
There are essentially two reasons we are committed to ongoing reviews for our clients: to take account of changes in their own circumstances and aims, and, to ensure that any market developments are assessed.
Changing circumstances, aims and needs
We all go through changes in life and what was right at one time may no longer be suitable at a later date. Changes in our work, home life and health can all have a bearing. By keeping your pension in focus and conducting regular reviews, we aim to keep your pension planning on track, whatever the changes.
Contributions
One of the most common issues is keeping under review how much you save into your pension. It is often the case that when starting out, it is not possible to pay in as much as we would ideally like (to get back the level of pension we want). As time goes on, affordability may change and often this relates to higher earnings out-pacing changes in outgoings, allowing more to be paid in.
It is important to keep in mind that if your earnings are growing, your target retirement income may also be going up (when compared to the initial target set when you started your pension savings). So, it is vital that your target income is kept under review, and, that what you pay in regularly is kept up to date.
There may also be occasional ‘windfalls’, such as bonuses and inheritances, which may allow a catch up to be done by injecting extra savings into your pension as lump sums. These lump sum payments get the same tax breaks as regular savings, so they are an excellent way to boost your pension savings.
Investment
How your pension savings are invested has a massive affect on the value of your funds or total ‘pot’. We will have guided you at the outset to match your investments to your attitude to risk and objectives. Over time, these may change. For example, when approaching retirement, many people favour reducing the risk exposure in their pension savings. This reduces the potential investment returns, but, it means the value of the underlying funds is more stable, so giving more certainty in the run-up to retirement.
Retirement
When starting out with your pension savings, the joy of actually taking the benefits may seem a long way off. For the smart ones who get underway early, it truly can be a very long time. But, as time goes on, preparing for retirement will become a bigger and bigger priority. And, the goal posts can sometimes move or need to be moved…
For example, state pension ages are rising (moving the goal posts) and for many of us, working lifetimes are getting longer by necessity. There are also more flexible solutions than used to apply, so, retirement no longer needs to be seen as single event in time – you may prefer to retire gradually.
By conducting regular reviews with our clients, we make sure that any changing needs or plans for how and when you want to take your pension benefits are taken into account.
Market developments
Changes in legislation and product innovations can bring fresh benefits to new pension savers. Through our commitment to ongoing reviews for our clients, we make sure that any such benefits are also known and made available on an ongoing basis.
Over recent years, the changes in legislation have included major changes in tax relief and pension structures. These changes have generally speaking been welcome and have extended choice when saving and when taking benefits.
Product providers strive to continuously improve and the UK pensions marketplace is very competitive. Again, by doing regular reviews for our clients, we can ensure that new developments are considered and utilised where appropriate.
Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.
Investments
for total peace of mind
Investment fundamentals
There are two key aspects:
- The products (the wrappers or ‘pots’ that you hold your investments in)
- The assets (the underlying investment holdings)
The two should not be confused! For example, Unit Trusts are not in themselves ‘risky’ investment products. Unit Trusts can be cautiously invested, and if so, they are suitable for cautious investors. They can equally be invested in highly speculative asset classes, in which case they are only suitable for speculative investors, comfortable with potentially very high volatility.
For advice that takes account of your circumstances from advisers who can clearly explain the most suitable investment products and assets, please contact us.
- Unit Trusts
- Investment Trusts
- Open Ended Investment Companies (OEICs)
- Investment Bonds
- Offshore Investment Bonds
- Venture Capital Trusts
VCTs are higher risk investments and should only be entered into by experienced investors.
Mortgages
for total peace of mind
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The Financial Conduct Authority do not regulate on Buy to Let mortgages.
Mortgages are complex and do involve a lot of paperwork and third party liaison. Our advisers research and arrange mortgages for all walks of life. With access to a huge range of providers and with unique deals available from time to time, we always aim to provide the most suitable deal for all our clients, regardless of their circumstances.
Our mortgage services provide a complete package, encompassing; all research, paperwork and processing. We are experienced in dealing with other professionals, such as conveyancing solicitors, to ensure that all aspects are coordinated for you. This means that we become your sole point of contact for the entire transaction.
- First Time Buyer
- Moving Home
- Buy to Let
- Remortgage
Protection
for total peace of mind
Our aim is to help you establish the most suitable level of insurance protection and our advisers will help you protect those who depend upon you against the most serious risks that you face, specifically to your life and your health.
- Life Insurance
- Critical Illness Insurance
- Income Protection Insurance*
- Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance*
- Permanent Disability Benefit Insurance
- Death Benefit Insurance
*There are other products available designed to protect you against loss of income. For impartial information about insurance, please visit the website at www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk
Holistic Planning
for total peace of mind
We provide comprehensive advice to individual clients on the following matters:
- Holistic Financial Planning
- Retirement Planning
- Investment Planning
- Regular Savings
- Protection
- Taxation*
- Estate Planning*
- Medical and Healthcare Insurance
Holistic financial planning begins with a preliminary financial advisory process that includes an initial fact finding stage. This initial stage of the process is geared towards assessing a clients likes and dislikes, general opinions, goals both short and long term. Also during this initial fact finding stage, information such as a clients risk tolerance is also gathered and filed for analysis. Then after the necessary preliminary information has been gathered, it’s on to the next phase.
This secondary stage would be the strategy recommendation stage, where all of the data gathered is used to formulate an inclusive and objective strategy which takes everything into account. In this stage the clients objectives and goals are prepared and laid out with a focus on creating wealth, debt management, taxation plans, estate planning and of course risk.
The final phase of the holistic financial planning process involves the monitoring/review process. As previously indicated, this is a continuous and ongoing function which benchmarks the applied overall plan outcomes and performance levels, factored against the clients perceived goals and objectives.
This ongoing process includes periodic portfolio value assessment reports, portfolio review meetings and strategy sessions and of course the end of year pre-taxation strategy and planning sessions. We ensure our holistic advice for clients is geared towards growth, security and peace of mind.
*The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate on Estate Planning and Tax Planning.

March 2017 - Spring Budget Statement
We have pleasure in attaching our summary of the key announcements in the Chancellor’s 2017 Spring Budget statement. We hope you find it useful and interesting.
Chancellor Philip Hammond’s first, and last, Spring Budget was delivered at a pivotal moment for the UK as it readies itself to begin the process of leaving the EU. The Chancellor will announce a second Budget in the autumn as the Treasury changes to the new financial cycle from 2018. However, his first offering of 2017 contained several significant measures:
The dividend allowance will be cut from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018.
Self-employed workers will see their Class 4 national insurance contributions (NICs) increase by 1% to 10% in April 2018, with a further percentage point rise to 11% from April 2019. The government had previously announced that Class 2 NICs will be abolished from April 2018.
The individual savings account (ISA) allowance will rise to £20,000 in April 2017 as previously announced.
The Chancellor confirmed the launch of a new NS&I investment bond from April 2017 that will pay a 2.2% rate over a three-year term on deposits of up to £3,000.
