INVESTMENTS ADVICE

Sound investments advice to achieve you the best returns

Whether you are investing a single lump-sum, or want to save on a regular basis, you need to feel confident your money is being invested wisely so that it achieves the best possible return for you. Keeping large amounts of money in the Bank or Building Society might not necessarily be the best long-term solution – there are lots of alternatives, here we take brief look at investments.

Sound advice on Financial Investments to achieve you the best returns

As with all our services at Octagon Financial Services, we will advise you on potential investments solutions based on your individual requirements.

How does the process start?

We work closely with both personal clients and business clients to get a clear picture of what investments best suit your needs. We will:

  • Talk to you in detail about what it is you want to achieve, and why.
  • Help you understand your attitude to risk, ensuring this is balanced against potential reward.
  • Review any existing investments to check whether they are currently meeting your objectives.
  • Discuss possible scenarios to help you consider the long-term bigger picture.
  • Establish whether your investment needs to be short-term, medium-term or long term.
  • Establish whether you are likely to need to make withdrawals from your funds?
  • Consider the tax efficiency of any solutions we discuss.

What will we do for you?

Once we have a good understanding of your investments requirements, we will carry out detailed research in order to identify solutions which will drive the best possible outcome for your particular circumstances. This can include:

  • Determining which mix of assets in an investments portfolio might yield the best results.
  • Considering the respective merits of highly-diversified or more concentrated portfolios.
  • Researching and selecting a Fund Manager.
