During my long career as a financial adviser, I have always periodically reviewed many of my clients’ plans. Sometimes I have advised on the merits of moving their pension, investments or protection plans to an alternative provider. The reasons may have been to reduce costs, to access useful features, or to move into better funds […]
If you’ve got a cash ISA, you will already know that the interest rates are incredibly low and that your returns are negligible. Cash ISAs were a great innovation. They followed on from the highly successful TESSAs (Tax exempt special savings accounts). These products encouraged many people to start saving by offering good levels of […]
Wealth management is a phrase which you may have come across before. Essentially it’s a self-explanatory term with quite an obvious meaning. However, it can mean different things to different people. So, let me explain what we mean when we refer to the ‘Professional Wealthcare Wealth Management Service’.

What is an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA)?
An IFA is a professional adviser who will consider every aspect of your personal and financial situation and will give you advice that is tailored to you. If an IFA recommends a product (for example a pension or investment) he can offer you the best choice from the whole of the market.
Unlike a free guidance service or information you may find online, the advice provided by an IFA will take account of your personal circumstances and will make clear recommendations.
You may have heard that the rules surrounding how you take your pension benefits are changing. These new rules will apply from April 2015.
If you are a high rate tax payer with a personal pension, you need to be sure that you are receiving your full income tax relief on your contributions.
Barry has been providing me with excellent financial advice since 2003. He has simplified and consolidated a number of pensions that I had started with various organisations through different employers over the years to one pension – making it much easier for me to have a clear view of my investments and know where I stand. I receive regular, easy to understand updates, with Barry providing the added value of explaining what it all means and offering advice on actions to take. Barry ensures that he keeps current with my financial and personal circumstances and is able to adapt and make excellent, informed recommendations quickly and clearly. I would highly recommend Barry and Professional Wealthcare for your financial management solutions. He is now responsible not only for the planning of my financial security, but also for that of my children.
