How we keep you on track
Things change and life happens. Families grow, careers take new shape and not least, your outlook changes with it. Coupled with modifications to investments, legislation, tax, and estate planning approaches, we believe it’s important to be flexible and keep on top of things.
Annual check-up in six steps
Review
Step 1:
Revisit
A lot can happen in a year. Life events can come thick and fast. Whether it’s a new job, a new addition to the family, a change in relationships or a loved one passing away, it can mean a change in your perspective.
Step 2:
Re-appraise
Let’s check through your objectives and see if they remain your current thinking.
If needed, we can set some new objectives to reflect your current views. From there, we’ll advise how best to achieve them with you.
Step 3:
Re-forecast
Keeping on track and revisiting objectives is an integral part of the review. Checking to ensure that your forecast is accurate ensures that there are no nasty shocks and surprises to deal with.
Step 4:
Report
Presenting and reviewing the performance of your investments in the context of your Financial Plan is the key part of our discussion. We see if they are meeting expectations and advise if anything needs adapting to reflect changing markets.
Step 5:
Risk/Reward
Investment choices develop and funds change over time.
Ensuring alignment of your personal values and views of risk is a critical part of our annual discussion.
Step 6:
Reset
We help set your financial path for the next 12 months.
If things don’t go to plan, we’re on hand to help. And it’s not long before we check in again for our annual review.
Review costs
Invested funds
The cost of our Review Service is based on the value of investments that we manage for you. Our costs are as follows:
| Investment value | Review Cost |
|---|---|
| Below £1,000,000 | 1.00% pa |
| £1,000,000 or more | 0.85% pa |
| £1,500,000 or more | 0.75% pa |
| £2,000,000 or more | 0.70% pa |
| £2,500,000 or more | 0.65% pa |
The Review costs for portfolios of more than £1,000,000 applies to the whole portfolio, not just the amount above the specified value band.
There is a minimum annual cost of £2,500.
Since our costs are calculated on a percentage basis, the cash amount will increase as the value of your portfolio increases. Similarly, it will reduce as the value of your portfolio reduces.
