Episodes 1 – 7
The first episodes of our podcast series focus on our ‘7 Concepts of Financial Planning‘.
Episode 1 – Concept 1 (You)
Everyone is financially unique and financial planning needs to be tailored to you.
You are financially unique – how your assets have been accumulated, where they are held and what you want to do with them is unique to you. Your objectives, attitudes, preferences and timescales will also be unique.
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Director and Independent Financial Planner, Neil Clarke.
Episode 1 - Concept 1 (You)
Episode 2 – Concept 2 (How much)
Understand how much money you need and whether you have enough.
Knowing the amount of assets you will need to meet your requirements, objectives and aspirations over the course of your lifetime and after you are deceased enables you to understand where you currently are in relation to this and how to plan accordingly.
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Business Development Director and Chartered Financial Planner, Sarah Maguire.
Concept 2 - How much
How much time do you want to spend managing your assets and are they currently organised to reflect this?
Managing your assets/wealth takes time, knowledge and expertise. How much time you spend will be determined by where your assets are held and how involved you are and want to be in their management…
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Divisional Director and Independent Financial Planner, Kerry Holmes.
Concept 3 – Time and expertise
Episode 4 – Concept 4 (Tax)
Understanding how your various assets are taxed and whether these could be better organised to reduce the tax you pay.
Tax can have a significant impact on the value and longevity of your assets over time. By organising these within mainstream tax allowances you can minimise the amount of tax you pay and protect the value of your assets.
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Director and Chartered Financial Planner, Ian Burrows.
Concept 4 – Tax
Episode 5 – Concept 5 (Assets)
In what form are the assets that make up your wealth held and does this reflect your needs, attitudes and preferences.
How your assets are held and managed will determine the cost to you, the tax you pay, the level of risk/volatility you experience and the returns you achieve.
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Director and Independent Financial Planner, Neil Clarke.
Concept 5 – Assets
Episode 6 – Concept 6 (Protect)
How are your financial plans impacted by your premature demise or illness?
You are at most risk during the period you are accumulating the level of assets you need to provide for the financial plans of you and your family. These risks can generally be insured to protect your financial plans.
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Director and Chartered Financial Planner, Ian Burrows.
Concept 6 - Protect
Episode 7 – Concept 7 (Keep on track)
Managing your finances, assets and financial planning is a continual process that takes into account changes in your life and the world around you.
Ensure you undertake regular reviews of your financial planning arrangements and the organisation
and performance of your assets to ensure these are performing as required, making changes where
necessary.
Join our Managing Director, Mark Brown, as he discusses this concept with Divisional Director and Chartered Financial Planner, Liz Burrows.
Concept 7 - Keep on track
