To find out how Wren Sterling can help you with your pensions and investments, you can arrange your first, free no obligation appointment by calling your nearest branch. Appointments are available over the phone, in branch or via a virtual face to face meeting.

The value of your investments may go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount invested.

Financial Planning FAQs

  • How could financial planning help me?

    We’ve been partnered with Wren Sterling since 2016 to help you make the most of your finances. Think of financial advice as an MOT for your money. You can talk to an expert and make sure your finances are on track. 

    Financial advice can give you a plan to help you reach your financial goals. Wren Sterling’s Independent Financial Advisers will produce a bespoke plan utilising financial products which they consider the most suitable for you. Their Financial Advisers are supported by a team of qualified Researchers and Administrators who will assist them in creating your financial plan. 

    • Investing – Investment options are unlimited but your investment goals will be unique to you. Wren Sterling can guide you by recommending investment solutions from across the market. 
    • Retirement planning – You’re never too young to begin planning, but whether you’re preparing for retirement, ready to retire, or already in retirement, it’s vital to make the best decisions about your future income. 
    • Protection – A secure, well-constructed plan begins with the cover you need to protect you and your loved ones against the unexpected. 
    • Inheritance tax – Starting your IHT planning early gives you the best chance of gaining clarity and control over what happens next. 
    • Tax planning – Whatever stage of life you’re in, you can benefit from a financial planner assessing your current finances and planning a tax-efficient way forward. 

  • What’s the first step in financial planning?

    The first step is to book your free, no obligation appointment by calling your nearest branch. We’ll start with an informal chat to find out what you’re looking for and your current financial situation. 

    Wren Sterling make sure you fully understand the work they’ll do for you and the associated costs. All their charges are disclosed and agreed with you in writing and in advance of starting any work or incurring any costs. You can talk to an adviser and find out if financial advice is for you, and there’s no obligation to proceed to advice. 

  • What are the benefits of financial planning?

    Financial advice is as unique as you are. Talking to a qualified expert can help you focus on what you want to achieve, and find a path to get there. Whether you want to retire earlier or invest your savings, Wren Sterling can help.
