John Pickles

I'm an independent financial planner helping people to invest, or who are retired, in later life or who are business owners. I’ll tell you exactly what I would do if I were in your situation, so I would ensure that I fully understand your situation before I start doling out advice. My advice is dispassionate, and given face to face and in writing. I always make sure to explain industry jargon and technicalities in straightforward English. Clients choose to work with Globe IFA because: 1. We are independent: We can identify the best possible solution from the entire marketplace. 2. We only ever advise clients to do what we would do in their situation. 3. We give easy-to-understand advice, even if it is sometimes complex, in plain, straightforward English. 4. Our team of independent financial advisors has well over 200 years’ experience. 5. We aim to have long-lasting relationships with clients. I and my colleagues specialise in helping people who are: • Wondering where best to invest some savings or capital. • Concerned about their future retirement. It’s essential to have everything in place for that. • Already retired and wanting the most tax effective income. It’s never too late for financial planning. • Thinking about estate planning - how to reduce Inheritance Tax. • In later life: addressing concerns such as how to pay for care. • US citizens (or anyone who has a green card): we can arrange investments that comply with US tax regulations. • Homebuyers: Whether you’re buying your first home, or looking to move or to buy a property to rent out, our specialist advisers can help. • Business owners: We can help to ensure that your business plays a part in your retirement planning. We can also help employers who want to provide employee benefits. This is a turbulent time for those people with investments and mortgages, so whether or not you are an existing client, please do get in touch if you would like to discuss your concerns.
