Thinking about retirement

It’s never too early to start getting your affairs in order, and we can ensure you avoid making any costly mistakes.

For a financial future you’re excited about

Ending your career and starting your retirement should be a seamless, enjoyable experience, but too often, money worries get in the way. You’re unsure how much you’ll need, and fearful of seeking help from unfriendly advisers based in intimidating offices miles away who only seem to be out for profit.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Our close-knit team of experienced professionals are all born and bred in the north-east, and our independent status means we always work in your best interests. If you’d like a personalised plan that will take you to retirement and beyond, you’re in the right place.

Your questions, answered

Here are some of the pressing issues people like you ask us most often, and how we can help with them.

Should I save or invest my money?

There’s no straightforward answer to this question, and you should steer well clear of anyone who tells you otherwise. All our clients get a comprehensive financial plan that’s tailored to them, their goals, and the risk they’re willing to take with their money. We think that’s the best starting point.

Do I have the right pensions in place?

At this stage of your life, your pension needs to give you the strongest possible returns so you can retire in comfort when the time comes. Our experts will review your current arrangements, and if we don’t think they’ll help you achieve what you aspire to, we’ll make any necessary changes.

What if something unexpected happens?

If you want to ensure your loved ones benefit from all your hard work no matter what, it’s worth putting proper safeguards in place. Protection policies like life insurance and critical illness cover can offer real peace of mind, and we’ll help you find the products that are right for you.

Your client journey

As our client, you’ll follow our proven six-step process. At the end of it, you’ll feel clearer and more confident about your financial future.
