Your first appointment

What to expect

Once you’ve made the decision to see an adviser, what can you expect from the advice process?

The first step is a meeting with a financial adviser. You do the talking and the adviser does the listening, and there is no obligation to take things further.

The whole idea is to get to know each other, find out how your adviser can help you, and discover what you can expect to pay for any advice.

Then if you wish to continue, the next step is to develop a strategy to suit your particular situation and goals. Advisers draw on their own experience as well as the research and technical resources of the RI Advice Group.

After that your adviser and their team will be there for you, year in year out, to help you with sound professional advice, to answer your questions, and to make managing your finances easy so you can live the life you want.
