Financial Planning Consultant Cert CII (MP), CertPFS in Hampshire
I have 35 years’ experience in the financial services industry and enjoy helping my clients achieve their financial goals and objectives.
In the UK, there are around 3.3 million pension pots that are considered as ‘lost’, containing an average of around £9,500 per pot*. Nobody wants to be missing out on money they have built up in a pension, but there’s good news - this kind of financial hit is completely avoidable.
This one might seem obvious, but it’s easy to lose track of your pension pots, where they are, and what they’re doing. If you make a note of your pension providers, and check your pot(s) regularly, you’re far less likely to lose one of them over time.
Your investment allocation is where and how you’re investing your pension. Often, people will just use their pension provider’s default setting. But this might not actually be right for your retirement goals and risk profile. So, it’s a good idea to revisit this every few years.
If you’ve had a windfall recently, like a pay rise, bonus, or inheritance, putting a portion of it into your pension is a good idea. Not only is it tax-efficient, but you’ll be glad when your retirement comes around.
As an adviser, my role is to help you get all of this done simply, with all the facts and information you need. That might be helping you review your risk profile, consolidating old pension pots, or making a plan to help you retire early. Investing can help your money grow over time, but the value of investments can go down as well as up.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.

Mark is located in Waterlooville and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.
Financial Services and giving advice has changed quite a great deal over recent times, the world and its economic differences have made financial advice even more important and relevant.
I have worked in Financial Services all my life, starting out working for a firm of Chartered Accountants, so I have an ability to read accounts, and understand their contents. Then I moved into banking, working at a number of local branches till 1990, and soon after getting married in 1989, I felt the need to offer Financial Advice to both Corporate & Retail clients. I worked for a number of financial advice firms and more recently Quilter Financial Advisers, who I would say is the leading financial advice firms in the market to-day.
I am a family person with two grown up children and a loving wife, the purpose of unity and many years in the making. A financial plan is a contract between two or more people who set their sights on a target and look to strive towards its objectives. I can help you set those plans in place with Cash Flow modelling and providing holistic advice and on-going advice every year.
In advising you, I follow a simple and trusted 3 step process:
We will arrange a time to talk about your goals and plans.
I'll prepare a tailored plan which always takes full account of your goals, and gives you the steps and expert support from me to get there. All explained simply.
I'll be there as your financial adviser to give you the support you need.
