Unbiased Financial Advice
Our business has been running since 2003. We are Independent Financial Advisers (IFA), members of the Institute of Financial Planning and Certified Financial Planners. Our focus is Lifestyle Financial Planning and Investment Management.
Certified Financial Planners are more highly qualified than the majority of Independent Financial Advisers and have their skills regularly assessed. This means that you can always be sure you are receiving the best advice.
We work with you over the long term to achieve your goals and help you deal with each stage of your financial life.
Why are we different?
We tell you the truth about your money whereas we believe that the majority of Financial Advisers don’t. It’s not that they lie; they simply don’t tell the whole truth because they have to look after their interests as well as yours.
Most Financial Advisers only get paid if they sell you a product. So your investment advice depends on both the value of the sale and the type of product. Their approach also typically focuses only on one aspect of your finances, and so misses out on understanding the bigger picture.
We think that you can only make informed decisions by knowing:
- Where you want to go
- How you are going to get there
- How the pieces of your financial life fit together
We believe that before we talk about products we need to find out what’s important to you and what you want out of your life. Only then can we focus on how we can achieve your goals.
Our company values
We use the following list of company values to define how we make decisions for the benefit of our clients and staff:
- Trust
Trust should be the cornerstone of your relationship with us. We understand that you will be giving extremely confidential information to us, and we place great importance on this. To us, trust also means that we will look after your best interests at all times.
- Fairness
We realise that we are in a privileged position and make a commitment to act with fairness towards you at all times. This also applies in the other direction, so we aim to have a relationship which recognises the needs of both sides so we all feel we are dealt with fairly.
- Integrity
We adhere to a strict moral code, and will never step outside of that. You can be sure that we will uphold what is right at all times.
- Dependability
This means never letting you down. We will be a reliable source of support for you, whenever you require it.
- Teamwork
We see our relationship with you as working in a team. We will take responsibility for our side of the relationship, but we also need the same from you. Also, you should expect that our working style will leam that you come into contact with various members of our team, who are each there to cover your specific needs.
- Consistency
We feel that you want to know what to expect from us at all times, and we set up our client relationships on this basis.
- Truth
We will be honest with you, even if that means having a difficult conversation. Sometimes we might need to tell you something you don't want to hear, but we believe that it is better to face up to such issues. Occasionally things go wrong, and we will do our best to deal with such issues as they arise rather than hiding from them.
- Family
Our business is a family business and we place this at the core of our values. We know the importance of cherishing our family, and will apply this to our approach with you too.
- Open-mindedness
We don't believe that we know it all, and are always open to new approaches and ideas. This means that our services will change and adapt over time to do the best for you. We will also present you with some new concepts and we hope that you will be open-minded to listen to such ideas.
- Making a difference
We want to be an important part of the community as individuals and as a business. One example of this is how we facilitate our staff to regularly give up their time to get involved in charity work, and to organise a large civic event for the town. Also, we believe that our services will make a huge difference to your life.
