First for service
Our service levels have led the platform industry for a decade. Our client services team answer over 90% of calls in 20 seconds or less, and our Live Chat satisfaction ratings consistently sit above 4/5.
We create our own technology with input from advisers, planners and administrators, who say it’s easy to use and simple to understand. That’s why they don’t have to waste time calling in with queries.
Our 5 star SIPP
Our 5-star SIPP for Drawdown offers great multi-pot investing flexibility and a very broad range of withdrawal options for a basic charge of £18 a quarter + VAT, with no extra charge for going into drawdown or taking income. There’s no basic charge for our JSIPP.
Investing in retirement
Our broad range of risk rated investment portfolios, including Guardian, a drawdown specific solution, mean there’s choice in how to meet every client’s retirement planning goals, over the shorter or longer term. And with 5 Diamonds from Defaqto you know our Guardian portfolios have been independently assessed to provide excellent value and risk adjusted returns.
Tools to support you
Our Income Manager Tool (IMT) uses stochastic modelling to test the relative likelihood of success for your retirement plans. Its analysis is based on an independent capital market model and actuarially compiled longevity data, not generalised ONS figures for the entire population. Presented in simple, graphical form, the IMT can help you balance the risks involved in managing an income for life.
Balancing the many competing needs of your retired clients in difficult markets, against an ever-changing regulatory background, has never been this tough. While portfolio risk has a key bearing on outcomes, the rate of withdrawal, the client’s gender and life expectancy and the uncertain sequence of returns all need careful consideration.
