Independent Financial Advice

We recommend that you always get independent financial advice.

When appointing a financial adviser, you should consider:

If they are suitably qualified and experienced to provide advice on the topic you need. Sometimes it might make sense to speak to a specialist in a certain field.
The cost and what is included in this.
If the payment for services is through a standard fees structure, a commission-based, or a mixture of both. Before you enter into an agreement, you should fully understand and be comfortable with the payment process
