We might be in charge of your financial planning, but you are in control of your financial commitment to us

We understand that it is often more than just advice that our clients look to us for. However, some clients have simple needs, whilst others may have a more complex set of requirements and might want to develop more of a relationship with their advisers. Whether our client's interest is in the present, immediate future or a longer term perspective, there are a variety of solutions available.

If your existing plans just need tidying up to maximise their potential we're here to help. However, if you wish to consider tax efficient investing or have specific requirements or existing arrangements that require more attention - we're here to help with that as well. Should it be required, we also have the ability to call upon existing relationships with third parties who can offer assistance in key areas such as accountancy, private banking, property specialists and legal/solicitor arrangements.

Through our commitment to client service, we have introduced a range of service levels which can be tailored to your requirements, ensuring not only that you get the service and products that you want, but that you are also fully aware of what to expect and the associated costs at the very outset.

We take a different approach to traditional commission based arrangements and have introduced three levels of service proposition. These service arrangements will be based on your personal approach to risk which you will discuss with your adviser at the initial meeting. Following that meeting and your discussions, one of the following service levels will be suggested: Premier Responsive, Premier Proactive & Premier Bespoke.

All levels will be clearly outlined by the adviser you meet with, as will the reasons why a particular level will be suggested as suitable. All decisions regarding service levels will be made following this initial meeting, where you will both have explored your preferences and approach to risk. Clients may pay a fee, allow Blake to collect payment through commission or a combination of the two.
