Investment coaching

Our Coaches are qualified financial planners who can help with your investment goals. All for no charge.

The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up, and you could get back less than you invested.

Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in the future.

Why coaching?

Here are just some of the ways we could help you:
  • Goal planning

    If you’re new to investing, we can talk through your goals and plan how you might achieve them.

  • Professional expertise

    Experienced investors can benefit from our Coaches’ expert knowledge on what’s happening in the markets.

  • Big decisions

    If you’re simply looking for reassurance that you’re on the right track, why not run your ideas past a Coach?

  • Investment strategy

    Your Coach can run you through some key questions on whether your investment strategy is aligned to your investment goals and how to make sure you’re set up for success.

I enjoy helping clients to focus on what matters to them and effecting a plan that can bring them closer to achieving their financial goals. Whether you are someone who is keen to learn investing principles, or someone gearing up for retirement wanting to understand pension accessibility rules, there is always something you can learn.  If I can help you make financial decisions with confidence then you should be able to spend more time enjoying the other things that matter in life!

Being a financial coach is truly rewarding and it is a great opportunity to educate clients and guide them through a financial maze. In my role as a coach, I always keep in mind that behind every investment are someone’s dreams, goals, and hopes for the future. I believe that we can work together to help you realise where you are and where you want to be. Let’s bring your future to the present, so you can do something about it now!
