Different types of advisors

All financial advisors provide a similar service. Principally, their role is to help improve your financial position. Firstly, they will assess your personal situation and your financial goals. Then they can recommend solutions to meet your needs.

There are two types of advisors: independent and restricted.

Independent advisors (IFA's). They can offer a range of financial products from the whole of the market. However, their fees may be more than those of a restricted advisor.

Restricted advisors. They can usually only recommend products from their own network. However, in some cases, their fees may be lower than those of an IFA.

The FCA oversees and regulates both types of advisors. You can easily check online to confirm that an advisor appears on the FCA register. As already mentioned, the FCA oversees all the advisors we work with

Am I getting the correct financial advice?

A financial advisor is there to help you, and any proposition they make should consider your circumstances. During an initial meeting, the financial advisor in Limehouse will ask you for detailed information about your finances. Therefore, they will recommend the options that suit you best.

Every case is different, but any proposition should:

Be affordable for you.
Consider whether you want to save for the short term, medium term, or long term.
Match your attitude to risk.
Be suitable for your tax situation.

An advisor can only give advice in areas where they hold the proper qualifications. For example, if you are looking for advice on a final salary pension scheme, the advisor needs the correct qualification to do so.

The financial advice process and what to expect

Many advisors these days offer remote video meetings as they are much more time-efficient and convenient for both parties. However, some do still prefer face-to-face appointments. Whatever you choose, we aim to find an advisor close to you.

Firstly, the financial advisor Limehouse will conduct an initial meeting with you. Advisors usually provide initial meetings free of charge. The advisor will discuss and assess your financial situation. Also, what you are looking to achieve and what financial goals you have. At the same time, it gives you the chance to get to know them and find out what they can offer.

After the first meeting, the advisor suggests options tailored to you and your situation. They will also show you how you stand to benefit from taking their advice. In addition, they will outline their charges and fee structure.

Then, if you decide to select them as your advisor, they will arrange more regular reviews. These ongoing reviews are at intervals that you choose and that suit you. Therefore, in some cases, having an advisor nearby can be helpful.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a financial advisor cost?

If you appoint a financial advisor to review your investment or pension portfolio, you may be charged a fee based on the total value of the funds. Typical percentages range from 1% to 3%. For complex cases, such as a final salary scheme, a fixed fee can be agreed upon before giving advice. Some advisors may charge you an hourly rate for certain specific services, such as calculating pension lifetime allowances.

Do I need a financial advisor?

If your pension pot is more than £30,000 and is a defined benefit scheme, you will require regulated financial advice. UK regulations mandate this requirement. Most leading UK pension providers now insist on regulated advice for transfers of this size on defined contribution schemes.
