We find that many of our clients come to us for advice because they lack the expertise, time or inclination to carry out the necessary research on their own.
In some cases, clients lack all three and are happier passing the responsibility to a professional financial adviser.
Some new research from Standard Life has found that many people value the emotional reassurance that comes with the financial advice process.
Financial confidence and security was the most important benefit of working with a professional financial adviser, according to 36% of those polled.
47% felt more confident that they were in control of their finances as a result of taking professional financial advice.
When it comes to financial planning, peace of mind can be priceless.
