Clients who request this service will be entitled to the following:

  • An introductory meeting to gather the information we need to give advice on the required financial area(s).
  • A report based on our findings and our recommendations
  • A review meeting to discuss the report and to accept instructions to act as your agents in the implementation of the recommendations
  • The arrangement of the recommendations usually through product purchase
  • Finalising the recommendations/arrangements by the issuance of suitability letters


Please note that once our business has been concluded, no ongoing advice will be given, but we will maintain contact at times to advise you of developments which we think might be of interest to you.
