Pension Transfer Gold Standard Award

We are proud to announce this month we have been awarded the Pension Transfer Gold Standard by the Personal Finance Society*.

In dealing with a firm adopting the Pension Transfer Gold Standard, you can expect we will exceed the usual Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) criteria for financial advisors.

Specifically, we will:

1. Help you understand the implications of a transfer, so you can decide whether taking advice is appropriate, before you take it and incur any costs in doing so.
2. Ensure the advice supports your overall wellbeing in the context of your stated objectives, needs and wants.
3. Use appropriately qualified technical skills to advise on whether to transfer, and what to transfer into in order that you have the best chance of meeting your objectives.
4. Only recommend mainstream investments from regulated investment companies.
5. Be fully transparent and take all necessary steps to ensure you understand all the costs involved.
6. Draw your attention to any Conflicts of Interest in giving pension transfer advice and how these are managed in your best interests. 
7. Share with you our experience and the outcomes of advising people on transfers.

We have two Pension Transfer Specialists – Helen Blackburn and Nick Hampton, who would be pleased to have an initial chat with you if you are considering transferring your pension.
