How To Choose A Financial Adviser

Why use Independent Financial Advice?

If you want financial advice, you are faced with a myriad of choices:

• Advisers who can only recommend the products of one provider.
• Advisers who can advise on the products of a number of providers but are not able to make recommendations from the whole market
• Advisers who can make recommendations from the whole market but cannot call themselves independent because they are remunerated only by commission.
• Advisers who can make recommendations from the whole market and can call themselves independent because they give the consumer the choice of paying by fee or commission.

Why You Should Use An Independent Adviser

Why is it best to choose the truly independent adviser? The answer is that he or she can give you advice (for which you pay) and does not have to sell you a product in order to make a living. In many cases consumers merely need advice, perhaps on existing arrangements, or monitoring the performance of an existing portfolio.  Those advisers who are not independent will not be able to give you this full service.

We believe it is essential for clients to receive Independent Financial Advice. In the same way that clients pay for the best dental or legal advice they must be aware of the importance and the financial commitment of obtaining the best financial planning service. The advisers at Nicholls Stevens are well qualified and care about the service they give their clients both initially and at a regular review

Independent advisers give the client choice;

• Choice of advice instead of Product Purchase
• Choice of Investment and Provider.
• Choice of payment by Fee or Commission
