Financial Planning Videos

Learn about Financial Planning through our short informative videos.

Cash Flow Financial Planning

Cash flow financial planning is a way of using long-term modelling, through sophisticated software, to see how your finances map out into the future. This is a wonderful way to help with decision-making as the picture created by the model can help with seeing where future shortfalls may occur and/or where the greatest risks to your money lie.

This ‘informs’ you what sort of investment strategy and risk you should be taking as well as such things as when it is realistic to retire.

The Benefit of Independent Advice

There are so many areas where advice can make a great difference to your financial wellbeing. This embraces planning to avoid Inheritance Tax, investing for long-term growth and income, protecting your family, dealing with complex pension matters, and much more besides. The benefit of using an adviser who is independent is that they can work with the whole of the market whereas non-independent advisers may have some restrictions. This video explains more and how (and why) independent advice works to support the advice process.

How to Protect your Wealth

Wealth protection has become more important than ever in recent times. With rising taxes, increases in the cost of living, and strains on the public finances it may well get more difficult to sustain personal wealth levels.

Economies go through cycles and for the first twenty years of the 21st Century, the surrounding economic environment was largely benign and favourable to those with wealth.

However, things have changed and two of the biggest risks to wealth, inflation and wealth taxes, have resurfaced.

There are steps individuals and couples can take, though, to protect their positions.

This video explores the subject more broadly, outlining how wealth protection can be made to work as part of a comprehensive financial plan.

Managing your Finances through an Economic Crisis

This is a video covering how you may want to deal with the personal financial implications of economic crises.

Whilst these crises may come in different forms, at different times, the way to react, plan, and deal with them does not change.

Typically, the same management approach should be adapted to any economic crisis.

The video was developed specifically in reaction to the early days of the 2020 pandemic and the economic shock this created, however, its core messages and suggestions around how investors should think about this, are relevant to any downturn or difficult period.
