An adviser’s insight
When is the right time to invest?
There’s always a degree of uncertainty when it comes to investing, so it’s natural for some people to feel nervous about it.
When the news is reporting stock market volatility, it’s understandable that some people might feel more cautious about investing. But including investments in your long-term financial plan is a smart way to give your money the best chance to grow.
Keeping money in cash might feel like a safe option, and having some money easily available is a sensible decision. But too much cash could end up costing you more because of inflation’s ability to eat away at the value of your savings. For example, when £10,000 is invested it can grow by 78% over 30 years, but if it was kept in a current account its value could actually reduce by 59%*.
There are lots of options when it comes to investing, and I’m here to guide you through them. I can help you decide things like which risk level is right for you, what types of investments to use to maximise your tax efficiency, and how to create an investment plan tailored to your circumstances and goals. I can also show you how different investment approaches could impact your finances over the long term.
If you’re thinking about how investing today can help create the life you want in the future, let’s talk about how I can support and guide you through the process.
The value of investments and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.

Testimonials

After contacting a number of financial advisers, who all said my DB pension transfer would be very expensive and maybe impossible, thankfully I found Chris Hamilton. Chris took the time to look into it and see that my transfer was possible and he was able to do it without the exorbitant fees that most others quoted.
Chris kept me informed all through the process and I was very satisfied with his service. I should add that Chris didn’t ask for a review, I just felt that others in my position, struggling to find an adviser for their DB transfer and feeling like most other FA’s in the profession were using the FCA rules as an excuse for incredulous fees, should know that Chris is genuine and offers great service
