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
Kath
Oliver provided a personal and professional service. He was patient and understanding of our needs. The information he provided allowed us to make a fully informed decision about our financial investments.
Mrs Wilder
Oliver has been brilliant in helping me to find the best way to manage my finances as I near retirement. He has been approachable, asked questions to find out what I want my retirement to be like, and listened carefully. Oliver has not attempted to sell me products that I don’t need, and I feel that he has given me honest advice based on my circumstances. Oliver has explained my options clearly, without using jargon, and I thoroughly recommend him.
Shelly
Oliver came to my house last week to discuss financial matters, and I immediately found him to be very personable, of a calm and friendly nature, and felt at ease discussing my finances and life circumstances with him. As it turned out I need an accountant rather than a financial planner at this time, and Oliver was kind enough to give me the name of an accountant that he trusts. When I am in a position to decide on what to do with my finances for long term planning, I would have no hesitation in contacting Oliver again.
Louise
I needed some advice re pensions verses savings and Oliver was able to give me clear advice which was easily understandable. I am grateful for that advice.
