Choosing an IFA

Defining Your Goals

Knowing your destination is possibly one of the most imperative factors when setting out to achieve financial success. Your adviser can help you nail down exactly what it is you want to achieve with your money, whether it be the purchase of a property, educating your children, or retiring early. They can advise you on what is achievable and help put together a realistic plan to help you get to your financial destination.

Staying On Track

Remaining on track within a constantly changing landscape can be a challenge, and this is where the services of a financial adviser can be invaluable. Any financial professional worth their salt will conduct regular reviews of your financial plan, ensuring that your investments are performing optimally, understanding and implementing changes to your personal circumstances which may have a bearing on your current financial position or your end goal, and implementing changes to legislation that could influence your exposure to tax.

Mitigating Your Tax Liability

Ensuring your finances are as tax efficient as possible can save you thousands of pounds over time, however, the tax system is complicated and small errors are easily made. A professional will have the experience and knowledge to successfully guide you through this confusing landscape in order to ensure you are as tax efficient as possible, ultimately helping you reach your financial goals.

Sourcing the Best Products and Financial Services for You

There are literally thousands of product providers available on the market and selecting the best one is more than simply finding the best price. Whilst a comparison website can almost certainly find you great prices, they can’t take into account your personal circumstances or indeed priorities. An independent financial advisor can easily sort through the crowd to find the exact right product for you, as an individual with unique needs and requirements.

The Thanks Wealth Planning Formula

In order to deliver the best possible service to their clients, Thanks employ a proven formula which has you, your history, your values, and your dreams and aspirations at the very core of everything they do.

Your adviser will start your wealth management formula with wealth preservation. This is where you will ultimately learn how the decisions you make today, will affect your finances in the future, arming you with all the information you need to secure the best possible returns on your investments to ensure they remain consistent with your goals and risk profile within the time frame agreed.

The step will be wealth enhancement. An opportunity to mitigate your exposure to tax on your investment returns and general wealth, in order to keep more of your money, just where you want it instead of in the taxman’s pocket.

Efficiently passing your wealth on to your beneficiaries is the next area of focus for your adviser. With inheritance tax so high in the UK, this can ultimately cost your beneficiaries thousands and lead to difficult decisions at an already stressful time. Mitigating this exposure in a legitimate and efficient manner can help ensure your hard earned wealth remains where you want it.

Once this is achieved your adviser will work towards protecting your wealth. Ensuring your financial plans don’t become derailed due to one of life’s unforeseen circumstances is an important part of ensuring the success of your overall plan. This includes securing products such as life insurance so your family is protected as part of your overall wealth management.

Your adviser can also work with you to look at charitable giving, an opportunity for you to invest in the world at large or your own community in an efficient manner.
