Investment Advice & Wealth Management
At Folan Brookes Financial Consultants, investments are only one part of our financial planning service. We don’t just recommend an investment product then leave you to manage it yourself; we’re here for your entire financial journey.
Our professional financial planning service focuses on you. We consider your needs, wants and aspirations and then create a cashflow and investment strategy to meet your future financial goals. Maybe you have some investments already and need someone to give you a fresh perspective on your current financial situation, then make recommendations that meet your current circumstances and goals. You could be unsure of the type of investments you have, what your current risk exposure is, and how they are performing. The ultimate question when it comes to investing for your financial future is… How confident are you that you will achieve your financial goals within the time frame you would like?
Retirement Planning
Retirement will change the way you access your money. Nowadays, there are many options available to retirees. It’s important to understand the options available to you and whether your existing plan can meet your needs. We can help you carefully consider your options and make recommendations that meet your later life objectives.
Legacy Planning
Successful estate planning helps you to better control the amount of tax you are liable to pay on the wealth you accumulate.
We'll help you make the right choices to protect your legacy for the next generation.
Investing for Children
Do you want to help a child or grandchild onto the property ladder, support them through higher education, help with a major expense, such as a wedding, or even start a pension pot for them? We can help you support your loved ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a financial adviser do?
A financial adviser helps individuals and families make informed decisions about pensions, investments, retirement planning and other financial matters.

Should I consolidate my pensions?
Pension consolidation can simplify retirement planning, although suitability depends on your circumstances and existing arrangements.
How much money do I need to retire comfortably?
Retirement requirements vary depending on your desired lifestyle, expected retirement age and income needs. A personalised retirement plan can help assess your position.
