Our process

Getting to know you

Before we recommend a pension solution for you, we first spend some time understanding your needs and aspirations. We also conduct a risk assessment where we establish your tolerance for investment risk. Whether you are cautious, balanced or speculative with your investments, it is important to make sure your plans are right for you.

Reviewing your plans

If you have existing arrangements, we will contact your existing pension providers to obtain full up to date information about your plans. We will also examine these plans to see if there are any special benefits within them that you should know about, such as guaranteed annuity rates. We will check for any charges that would be incurred if you make changes to your plans.

Fund selection

Using modern pension plans, we can build a portfolio of funds that is suitable to your needs. We like to spread your risk using some of the best funds available. It is important that each component part of your pension portfolio is skilfully managed. All funds are fully regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, giving you the security of knowing that your money is in safe hands.

Monitoring your plans

No pension strategy is complete without some ongoing care and attention. You may like to set up a service agreement, enabling us to review your portfolio on a regular basis to keep it on track. This service involves keeping an eye on your selected pension funds to ensure they remain a good choice. We will keep you informed and recommend changes, such as fund switching, if we feel this would benefit your plans.

Approaching retirement

As retirement approaches, it is important to consider how you are likely to be taking benefits and discussing the options. We may advise you to lock in gains by switching into safer funds or making any other required adjustments.

Barry from Professional Wealthcare in Camberley has provided my family and I with expert financial advice for a number of years now. His practical, down to earth approach is very much appreciated as it can be quite a dry subject. He has advised very knowledgeably, on a wide range of related topics such as mortgages, insurance and pensions and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend Barry to anyone.
