How we work with you
-
Step one
We'll get to know each other
Everything starts with a conversation. Not only does it give you the opportunity to meet and learn more about Investec Wealth & Investment (UK), but we take this time to understand what really matters to you and your loved ones and what your goals and passions are. By learning about you and your aspirations, we can start to identify the right service we believe is best suited to your objectives – which could be Investment Management, Financial Planning or a combination of the two.
-
Step two
Selecting the right financial strategy
To manage your money effectively we need to recommend a financial strategy that takes into consideration your financial knowledge and experiences. We will ask you all about yourself, your circumstances, your goals in life and your attitude to risk. In addition, if you are working with our Financial Planners, we’ll also carry out an independent financial review of your current arrangements to get an overview of your finances. Once we’ve built up a clear picture of you, we can begin to create a holistic plan that fits you as an individual.
-
Step three
Building your tailored plan
We’ll analyse all the information you have provided, to build you a bespoke plan to help meet your financial goals. It will outline our recommended approach along with any fees and charges.
-
Step four
Putting your plan into action
Managing your plan is a continual process rather than a one-off event. We will closely monitor it, and make sure that your plan remains in line with your objectives. If you have an investment portfolio with us, your Investment Manager will measure its performance against market benchmarks and liaise closely with our in-house Research Team to keep abreast of market developments and take advantage of opportunities.
Our commitment to you
We are committed to providing you with a service that goes above and beyond, so as part of our ongoing relationship with you, you can expect:
A dedicated partner
When you partner with us, you’ll have a dedicated Investment Manager and/ or Financial Planner who will not only work with you to understand your goals and put your plan into action, but who will also stay in touch regularly to discuss:
- How your investments are performing
- Relevant insights within the financial markets
- Any legislative changes that might impact the way your finances are structured (for example changes to personal pension rules, or inheritance tax rules)
- Any changes to your circumstances that might impact on your plan.
Of course, if you have any questions or queries, we’re available on the phone or email whenever you may need us.
A plan that flexes
We understand that your circumstances may change over time, which means your goals and aspirations may do also. We’ll ensure that your plan, and investment portfolio if you have one, keeps pace with these changes, and make alterations as necessary.
