My Vision and Guarantee for Newbridge Financial Planning

Vision

I have been in financial services since 1998. In that time the profession has changed and regulations have changed dramatically. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the role I play. I do believe that I am here to help people. Help my customers achieve their financial goals. Help take the stress away from not knowing. To educate, to empower people. Financial Services can be so complicated, that is why I have spent many years learning, developing and growing so that I can become better at what I do. I do this for my clients, to make sure they are always getting the best advice possible.

Guarantee

  I guarantee that we will be honest and ethical in all our dealings with you and your family  I guarantee that we will be honest and ethical in all our dealings with anyone you refer us too  I guarantee that we will give you the best advice at all times  I guarantee that we will keep in regular contact with you  I guarantee I will do what I say

The Process

Meet

When you contact Newbridge Financial Planning, Tammy will be your first contact. She will tell you a little bit about the business and our process. She will arrange an appointment at your convenience in either our Belfast or Ballymena office. She will inform you of anything you need to bring with you. Tammy will also send you out an appointment card to confirm date and time of appointment. She will then send you our GDPR forms to sign. We need this to be able to discuss your circumstances.  

We do charge an initial consultation fee of £150. We do this because we feel that you will benefit from our 20 years of experience in financial services where we have helped 1000’s of customers. It also means we are not dependent on “selling you a product”. But instead listening to your needs, objectives and concerns and helping you in the best way possible.

At your appointment we will provide you with our client agreement and also our service and fee agreement. We will gather some facts about you and discuss your needs and objectives. We may also complete a risk questionnaire.

Recommend

After our initial discussion and you have agreed to proceed we will discuss what happens next. This is the part you don’t see. We will have to gather together all the information we need and perform some research. Obviously as qualified advisors we have extensive knowledge of the whole range of financial solutions. However it is important to us to research for you, the individual. All our clients are different so individual recommendations are necessary.

It takes us time to create these individual recommendations which can in some cases be very complex. We have to look at all your potential options, discount the ones which are not suitable then create a report with our recommendation. These reports can be lengthy and we will do our best to explain the contents.

The recommendation will be based around building a plan to achieve your goals and objectives.

Implement

On our second meeting we will firstly make sure that your circumstances have not changed since our last meeting. Then we will briefly cover what happened on the first appointment before making our recommendation to you.

We will provide you with all the information that you will need to make an informed decision. As Independent Financial Advisors we are well placed to give you the right recommendations for your needs and then help you implement the plan. Because we are independent we research all your options to make sure we give you the best possible advice. The alternative to this is that some firms are restricted. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it means that they only offer advice in certain areas, or from a panel of providers. So please ask your Financial Advisor if they are independent or restricted.

Review

We offer different ongoing service levels depending on individual needs. We believe ongoing reviews are important.

The purpose of a review is to;

  • Reassess the suitability of the initial advice; 
  • Assess any impact of tax and legislative changes
  • Update our information held on you; 
  • Reassess your attitude to risk and Capacity for Loss; 
  • Review your cashflow plan and; 
  • Review the performance of your funds.
