CIPI Background		 Established as an Independent Adviser in 1986, working throughout the north of England, providing personal and business financial planning. We help clients achieve their medium - longer term financial aspirations. All first meetings are free of charge. After this, any costs are quoted in advance of any work being done.

Whatever arrangements you have made in the past, with any Company, we will track down, research and update your plans. We look to make the best quality arrangements every time. Ring on 0161 950 5329/07708 410381 to arrange an informal chat.

All Independent Advisers now work on a 'fee' basis (except for term life assurance which still pays a commission)... as explained in our Client Agreement and Service details - documents below. Advice fees can sometimes be met from the product/s arranged, meaning no additional outlay on your part.

Pensions

 

We have been dealing with clients' pensions for over 28 years. We can clarify your situation rapidly and then guide you towards realistic retirement income levels.

 

1. Usually we just need a letter of authority to the pension provider Company(ies) concerned. 2. In the meantime we will discuss with you what level of pension you require and at what age it is required. 4. We will then obtain up to date valuations of your existing arrangements and quantify your projected pension income from this/these source(s). 4. Knowing what is already available enables us to calculate any shortfall from your target and we can then make recommendations as to how best to fill any gap.

Instead of reading pages and pages of jargon on annual statements please telephone and I will analyse your current situation and prepare a full summary report for you, irrespective of which company or companies your current arrangements are with.

Pension Open Market Options

When the time comes to draw your pension benefits it is rarely a good idea to settle for your existing pension company's retirement quotes.

1. We will carry out a full assessment of the value of your pension funds from all sources. 2. We will discuss all relevant factors (amount of tax free cash/guarantee periods/level or increasing payments/frequency of payments/etc) with you in order to get the best 'shape' of pension suitable for your personal and family requirements. 3. We will then check which Companies are currently paying the best rate of pension in the Market and undertake the necessary administration to shop around. 4. We will also check the availability of enhanced rates on health grounds. This excercise alone could significantly improve your retirement income.
