Investment Advice

Personalised Advice

 

The main objective of my investment advice, is to seek the greatest possible return for your investments, without taking an undue level of risk.

I will also aim to manage the tax-efficiency of your investments, and this is the foundation upon which my recommendations will be based.

It is of utmost importance that the composition of your investments is in-line with your personal attitude to investment risk.

 

Beginning with a psychometric risk profiling questionnaire, the outcome of this questionnaire is used as a starting point to discuss the nature of the trade-off between investment risk and investment return.

It is important that you fully understand, and are aware of, the different types of risk involved in any investments, so that we can mutually agree on a level of risk which is appropriate for you.

 

The value of your investments will regularly move up and down, and it is my view that when the above process is comprehensively carried out, my clients are at their most comfortable investing over the long-term.

My investment advice is supported by an established process, which makes use of industry-leading technology, and results in a bespoke investment strategy, tailored your personal circumstances. This takes account of factors such as:

  • Your Attitude to Investment Risk

  • Your Ethical Views

  • Your Objectives, Needs and Priorities

  • Your Investment Time-frame​

  • Your Capacity for Loss

  • Your Personal Financial Circumstances

Where appropriate, your investments may also benefit from regular reviews. This ongoing review service can help to ensure your investment strategy remains suitable for you, throughout all stages of your life.
