SERVICES

REDUCING YOUR TAX BILL

Our tax advice service can provide detailed reports on how you can legitimately reduce your income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax liabilities. We sometimes find that clients have overlooked a number of opportunities to make large tax savings.

FINANCING YOUR RETIREMENT OR NURSING HOME FEES

Our specially designed investment plans produce a tax efficient income to meet monthly fees.

PROVIDING FOR SCHOOL & UNIVERSITY FEES

As a parent or grandparent, you can make substantial savings on the costs of private education and university maintenance by planning in advance. This usually means combining several quite different types of savings or investments - another area in which we supply tailor-made personal solutions.

PROTECTING YOUR INCOME

Insuring against the worst is part of prudent financial planning and the cost may be lower than you think. Some new medical expenses insurance schemes exist at very reasonable cost, while insuring an income if you suffer from long term illness can also be surprisingly cost-effective.

MAKING YOUR OWN DECISIONS

If you want to make your own investment decisions, we are happy to place orders on your behalf. We provide a competitive service not only on stocks and shares but also on unit trusts, offshore and other investments.

CREATING TRUSTS

Making sure that funds are directed to the intended source at the right time with sufficient protection and with efficient tax planning. Simple and prudent planning combined with investments and protection assurance is one of our specialist areas for personal solutions.

BOOSTING YOUR PENSION

Like many people, you may have changed your job and left a pension behind you. You may be surprised to discover how much you could gain by detailed analysis of your former pension schemes. At your retirement, we can ensure that you convert your pension fund to the biggest possible pension income by using our ability to survey the market for pension annuities or consider other options such as with profit annuities, phased retirement or drawdown.

INCREASING YOUR INVESTMENT INCOME

If, like many of our clients, you are retired, your main aim is probably to obtain a secure and growing income. You may not be aware of the ways in which some relatively new financial products can be combined to generate higher net investment income. We also find that married couples can often improve net income by taking full advantage of the independent taxation rules.

MANAGING YOUR INVESTMENT

Investment management services are available and designed to meet the differing objectives of our clients. As independent advisers, we do not believe we should be involved in fund management, so we use established and reputable investment management firms to manage clients' capital.

REBUILDING FROM REDUNDANCY

We have many years experience of advising people who take early retirement and possibly short term re-employment or those who have been made redundant. These can be difficult times and careful consideration is essential.

PREPARING YOUR WILL

This is one of the most important aspects of financial planning and is often overlooked. We can help you prepare your will and update it as required.

The Financial Services Authority does not regulate will writing.
