Investment advice

Hi,

I am looking for some kind of professional service I can subscribe to for investment advice.
I want to transfer £50k+ from my Company Pension Fund into SIPP and would like to build a well profitable portfolio using funds and shares. I am familiar with money market however don't have personally time to track it, thus the professional service would be beneficial for me.

Appreciate your responses.

Cheers,
Paul

    If you want professional advice then it is an IFA you are looking for. See https://www.unbiased.co.uk for an IFA in your area.

    I should add - if you are thinking of going with an IFA, make sure you understand how much you are paying them. The charges are sometimes opaque (not always), and are about to change in January with the Retail Distribution Review. You'd want to make sure to ask how much commission you would be paying, and for how long, as well as how much the upfront fee will be.

    If it's just newsletter-type advice you're looking for, Moneyweek do that sort of thing - Salty Dog Investor are more specific (I haven't used them, just saw the ads.)
  • if you're getting a new IFA now, i'd specifically ask them if they are already compliant with RDR. if they aren't, with just 1 month to go, that might be a bad sign in general (as well as implying that their charges might be opaque).
