What are the benefits of getting financial advice?

Getting financial advice from a professional can help people make decisions that will lead to long-term financial success. The experts we partner with can advise on pension-type enquiries and pension pot values.

Our advisers offer a free initial consultation so that you can explore your options and decide how best to meet your retirement goals.

A financial advisor is a financial planning partner. For example, if you want to retire in 12 years or transfer a defined benefit pension, you may need somebody with the appropriate licenses to help make these plans a reality. We can match you with an adviser who suits your needs.

What is an independent financial adviser?
An independent financial adviser is one of the UK’s two types of regulated advisers.

There are two types of financial advisers:

  • Independent financial advisers (IFAs) provide objective advice about financial products from various companies.
  • Restricted advisers advise on a restricted selection of products. They might specialise in one area, for example, pensions, or they may only offer suggestions on products provided by a limited number of businesses.

How much does a financial adviser cost?

Many financial advisers provide a free initial meeting to help you understand the process, how much they charge, and if you would feel comfortable working with them.

The fees a financial adviser charges vary depending on their services and how you choose to pay.

Each firm will be different, so make sure to ask.

  • An ongoing fee — an adviser can only charge an ongoing fee if they provide an ongoing service.
  • A monthly fee — a set rate or a portion of the money you’re looking to invest.
  • An hourly rate — the average rate in the UK is approximately £150; however, these services can range from £75 to £350 an hour.
  • A set fee for a piece of work — this will largely be dictated by the complexity of the work and how long it takes – for example, a pension transfer will cost more in advice fees than just setting up an ISA.

It’s common for advisers to charge more than one type of fee. For example, there might be a fixed set-up fee and an ongoing charge based on the percentage of assets. Also, many advice firms use services such as investment platforms, and the client is often responsible for those associated costs.

You can usually transfer your pension to another scheme without getting professional advice. There are certain cases where you are legally required to get financial advice, such as transferring a defined benefit pension higher than £30,000.
