We understand that when you think about how to invest your money it can be daunting. With so many things to think about and consider it can be a real headache, knowing what the right steps are for you.
Are you saving for retirement? To pay off your mortgage? To fund that cruise, you always wanted to go on? Perhaps you’re just saving for a rainy day. Whatever it is that you are saving for, we all know that life has a way of eating into our savings and that often our dreams become exactly that – just dreams.
With the right Financial Adviser, you will be getting impartial advice when you need it most. Having the right advice can help make your dreams become a reality. By having a plan that helps you set goals, you get a better understanding of how to achieve them. Our adviser will sit down with you and look over your finances, see what you have in place, determine whether it is helping you towards your dream and help make sure there are plans in place to help you cope with the unexpected.
LR Financial Services has been giving people impartial advice for the past 10 years and we are proud that we continue to do so today. We believe that you need to know the best way to make your money work for you and we help you to understand this by arranging regular meetings with your Adviser. We build our service plans with you in mind, so whatever you’re looking for, we have a plan to suit you.
Our aim is to be the most client-focused Financial Advisers possible and we do this by putting our clients at the heart of our business and treating them fairly. We will act with the utmost integrity and professionalism at all times, be open, honest and ethical in everything we do, and operate a transparent charging structure.
We believe that professional financial advice can add significant value to individuals and businesses alike, so we offer a comprehensive, ongoing review service designed to provide real value for our clients.
We only use fund managers regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to help assist in selecting risk managed portfolios
We offer different levels of service, and the service level you choose will depend on how much interaction you have with your Adviser. Your Adviser can meet with you twice a year to explain how your investments are doing, or, if you prefer, you could have a telephone appointment instead. Alternatively, you can simply have a one-off meeting with an Adviser and then they will be available whenever you feel you need more advice.
We offer three ongoing service levels to cater for the majority of our clients’ needs. We believe that you should be able to choose the service you want, because it’s your money and you should be in control. Our levels of service are designed to allow you to choose how your money is managed and how much time you want to spend with your Adviser.
Our entry service level is Financial Advice. This may be suitable for those with cash deposits and who may not have used investments before but want some of their funds to work harder. This service level comes with an annual review meeting.
Our middle level of service is Financial Analysis and is designed for those clients who have used investments before, have an understanding that investments can go down as well as up and can accept that risk. It comes with an annual review meeting and the option to have a second review meeting during the year.
Our highest service level is Bespoke. This is for clients who use investments regularly, have a good understanding of how markets work, and who have a diverse portfolio of investments or need a discretionary fund manager (DFM) but who require advice around tax planning and want to review their investments every six months.
Finally, we offer a transactional service – Financial Transactions. This has no ongoing service and is for those clients who do not need ongoing advice or do wish to sign up to an ongoing service.
Get in touch with LR Connections today to receive independent financial advice, accountancy and estate planning services.
