Wealth of Advice was formed in 2011, but as a Chartered Financial Planner, I now have over 20 years of experience helping people with their finances, having being an authorised independent adviser since 2003 with the FCA. As a Wealth of Advice client, you'll receive expert advice from people who know as much as is possible about everything to do with pensions and investments. We spell it all out without the jargon, with our no nonsense approach to financial planning. As well as helping you manage your finances maybe in retirement in drawdown or helping save for a future event with expert investment advice, we're also on hand to provide any additional services you might require as and when you need them. This can be anything from setting up a Trust to making sure you have a Will and a Power of Attorney in place. As a completely independent firm, our clients benefit from us being able to offer advice on all financial products and services available across the entire market place. We're honest about our fees - we always agree our charges upfront, disclosing them to you in a clear and transparent way. Most of all, we work hard for those who've worked hard - our goal is to keep on grafting so you don't have to. **** Please note for Defined Benefit (Final Salary) Pensions advice the minimum CETV considered for advice is £400,000 ***
Offers available through VouchedFor
Contact Chris through VouchedFor and your initial 1 hour meeting or phone call will be free of charge. You can use this to discuss your situation and find out whether you feel they are a good match for you.
£430,000 Consumer Protection
Your money is protected against bad advice by the Financial Ombudsman Service up to a maximum limit of £430k and by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if the company goes out of business (in which case, limits may vary - see the FSCS website for more details).
