Restricted advice

We have chosen to offer you advice from a range of products from a limited number of carefully selected companies, including Bank. We do not recommend products from the whole of market. This is known as Restricted Advice.

No-obligation discussion

During your initial consultation, at no cost, we'll discuss your personal economy and whether you could benefit from paying for our advice service.

Clear costs

Your financial adviser will discuss our charges in your initial no obligation consultation so you understand the costs of advice and what you get in return.

In-depth assessment

Your financial adviser will spend time with you, considering all aspects of your financial circumstances, and your plans and aspirations for the future. Together you'll create a bespoke financial plan designed to help you meet your goals.

Intelligent risk profiling

We use sophisticated risk profiling software and modelling techniques to help you identify the level of investment risk you're comfortable with. We offer a wide range of funds and products to meet your needs, whatever your attitude to risk is.

Global and local expertise

Our advisers are supported by a worldwide team of analysts who use powerful local knowledge to hand select products from a wide range of investments.

The value of investments, and any income received from them, can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested. For some investments this can happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations, as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets.

Investments in emerging markets are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those inherent in established markets.

We recommend that you should regard stock market investments as medium to long term commitments (by which we mean that you should be prepared to hold them for a period of not less than 5 years).
