Once an adviser has all the information about you, your lifestyle, your attitude to risk and your financial objectives they can begin to look at which product or approach is right for you, our client.
All the research that the adviser carries out and the details that have been considered during this part of the process are up-loaded into Client Exchange under a section called Workspace. This gives the client a full overview of the steps that have been taken to study a diverse range of products across the market.
Finally, the recommendations proposed by the adviser and accepted by the client are up-loaded into Client Exchange as “Your Plan”.
Your Plan covers everything from details collated from fact finds, to your attitude to risk, the options considered against your objectives and our recommendations to you, so you can see how the advice has been constructed start to finish.
For those accessing our servicing review packages, details of annual fact finds and reports are stored in Client Exchange, making it simpler for clients to engage with us and receive annual reports and statements.
