Are my investments right for my goals?

Determining whether your investments align with your financial goals is a crucial aspect of sound financial planning.

Your financial strategy

Invest with a purpose

Take a moment to think about your goals and why you are investing. Are you aiming for a short-term goal, such as saving for your child’s wedding? Perhaps you’re pursuing a medium-term aspiration of launching a new business, or maybe you’re harbouring a long-term vision of selling your business in 15 years and embarking on an adventure.

Your chosen investment strategies should align with the specific nature of your goal, whether it’s immediate, intermediate, or long term.

How we help you…

Establishing your goals

It’s crucial to determine your financial goals before you start to think about investing. Our initial chat will involve a conversation about your aspirations and the timeline within which you hope to achieve them. Then, we will strategically categorise your goals into short, medium and long term, to ensure a suitable investment strategy.

Diversified portfolios

In financial planning, building a diversified portfolio is an excellent method to lower risk and potentially achieve a relatively high return on your investments. They must also match your appetite for risk and meet your long-term financial goals. Trust us to make sure every box is ticked and that our focus is on achieving your goals.

Ongoing reviews

As time progresses, it’s perfectly natural for your goals to evolve. Our annual meetings provide an opportunity to look at how your investments are performing and have another in-depth chat about your goals. Think of it as a friendly annual check-in, where we see how you’re doing and understand what we can do to get you closer to achieving those life goals.

The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested.

Your journey

Step 1

Initial chat

The starting point on your journey with us is designed to give you the space to talk and tell us about your goals.

Step 2

Status check

We will gather additional information, including your income, expenditure and lifestyle, and then we will map out what could affect these over time.

Step 3

Uncover scenarios

We will have another meeting to identify different scenarios. This will consider questions such as “Can I grow my wealth safely?”

Step 4

Staying on track

Seeing your plans come to life is the best part of our job and we will be there to guide you on this journey.

What our clients say

While we could certainly say tons of great things about our work and success stories, isn’t it more fitting to let our clients do the talking?

Nigel has been very helpful by setting up meetings with me and my family during which he was able to explain the financial implications of my future plans. He has acquainted himself with my financial investments, and advised me on matters relating to investments, capital and income. I am confident in Nigel's knowledge and abilities to reach the required outcome in due course.

My pensions were all over the place. I also needed a will. Nigel organised my pensions so they were all in one place and he organised my will. I would consider recommending Nigel to anyone who expressed a need to speak to an adviser.

My husband and I were seeking to invest a lump sum for the future and to provide a pension, alongside other investment opportunities. Nigel diligently gathered information from us regarding our aims and goals for the future and our attitude to risk. This has enabled him to advise accordingly on portfolios to match our needs and comfort levels. We are confident that with Nigel's able assistance, we will reap the rewards in due course.
