Worry free financial planning – an oxymoron?! Well, not quite… For most of us, financial planning is a balancing act: you want to spend as much as is reasonable to not run out of money. For others to maximise your legacy. And you want to walk this fine line whilst enjoying a breezy, easy life, free of financial concern. Make sure you’re not missing out on tax allowances, have your money invested according to your need and stress test your finances (test the impact of investment downside). If you work with us to do these things and react accordingly, you’ll be fine. “The value of investments can fall as well as rise. You might get back less than you invested. You should only consider these products if you are willing to take some risk with your capital. We will consider whether such products are suitable for you before recommending an investment.” 'Approver Quilter Financial Services Limited 01/08/2024'
