Everyone’s successful financial future looks different – but reaching it isn’t a journey you need to make alone. I founded Forbes Financial in 2008 with the goal of guiding people like you towards a secure and successful financial future. The thing that, I believe, sets us apart is our commitment to real financial advice - by this, I mean that we take the time and have the expertise to consider your complete financial situation, financial goals and concerns and then we create a detailed Financial Plan that helps you reach your goals. We don’t simply offer a product or single solution, we believe that to be truly effective you have to work harder as an Adviser to deliver real value. It’s something we’ve been proud to do for many years, building relationships and helping our clients look after their families, their businesses and their personal futures – everything they care about most. Our service doesn’t stop once you have a plan - we are always on hand to talk, review and adjust your plan if changes occur. As our world becomes increasingly automated, I am a firm believer that face to face advice and human interaction is of key importance. Both myself and the team who support you want to ensure you feel individually valued and supported. Whenever the need or wish arises, we want you to feel confident that you can pick up the phone and call us. From our home base in Tunbridge Wells we have a nationwide reach, helping clients all over the UK plan for the things that will happen, that might happen, and that they want to make happen. Because it’s only through effective planning that any of us can enjoy the future we hope to achieve. I warmly invite you to get in touch if you would like to talk about your financial future. The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested. An investment in equities does not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society. The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances. This Partner/Partner Practice is an Appointed Representative of and represents only St. James's Place Wealth Management Plc (which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority) for the purpose of advising solely on the Group's wealth management products and services, more details of which are set out on the Group's website at www.sjp.co.uk/products. The ‘St. James’s Place Partnership’ and titles ‘Partner’ and ‘Partner Practice’ are marketing terms used to describe St. James’s Place representatives. SJP Approved xx/xx/xxxx
